It being 5-7-5, as my friend Josh reminded me earlier...
...I thought I should do something appropriate before the end of the day.
Cherry blossoms long
gone, I now watch the inchworms
eating all the leaves.
There may be a moon
out tonight, but I can't see
it through the rainclouds.
Spring cleaning -- my lab
has a new shelf set tonight;
my shoulder, a bruise.
Pumpkin, tomato,
melon, cucumber, carrot:
happy little sprouts.
We'll soon have roses,
and I must plant out the two
new tea bushes.
Wishing all of you
the joys of May: bright greens and
delicate sprinklings.
(Those aren't quite true to the classic form, but I guess they'll do.)

Hami-gua, why don't
you sprout? Are you old and tired,
or just obstinate?]
