The South Winds Say So
by Carl Sandburg
IF the oriole calls like last year when the south wind sings in the oats, if the leaves climb and climb on a bean pole saying over a song learnt from the south wind, if the crickets send up the same old lessons found when the south wind keeps on coming, we will get by, we will keep on coming, we will get by, we will come along, we will fix our hearts over, the south wind says so.

Cherry Blossoms
 
by Toi Derricotte
I went down to mingle my breath with the breath of the cherry blossoms. There were photographers: Mothers arranging their children against gnarled old trees; a couple, hugging, asks a passerby to snap them like that, so that their love will always be caught between two friendships: ours & the friendship of the cherry trees. Oh Cherry, why can’t my poems be as beautiful? A young woman in a fur-trimmed coat sets a card table with linens, candles, a picnic basket & wine. A father tips a boy's wheelchair back so he can gaze up at a branched heaven. All around us the blossoms flurry down whispering,                         Be patient                                  you have an ancient beauty.          
                                              Be patient,                                                             you have an ancient beauty.
