I love this poem! Old or new, it's exquisite. The image of new budded trees as monks, singing and standing together in a choir is memorable. I won't forget it. And...I'm most grateful to read it here, with the gate wide open. Congratulations, dear poet of the avenues, on your April birthday!

Fantastic year of contributing to substack! My turn to thank you for enriching our lives with your poems!

“Spring Canticle” sang to me throughout!

My favorites: sticky curls of early leaves

flushed with sap

momentary .season of compassion

trees stand like monks

moist frail amazement of grace everlasting

chante-moi encore!
