Napo 23

Today's prompt was to write two elevenies. I wrote four because I'm an over-achiever. Whatever.
Anyway, these short forms are a challenge for me, so it was good poetic practice. I wrote four about the different south Texas seasons.

Spring,
Green,
a beginning
dangling huisache flowers
emerge, a child’s laughter,
hope.

Summer,
Hot
The sun
Looming, scorching, loving.
It’s all too much,
Love.

Fall
Respite,
Heavy sigh
Encinos release acorns
Parakeets return to paradise,
Content.

Winter,
Quiet
And gentle,
A cold front
Wafts in, a welcome

End.
