Springtime
4.29.22
Oh the long and dreay winter
Makes me feel a little bitter
I wait for blue skies and green everywhere
Buds aplenty nothing bare
Then it finally starts to happen
Shapes colors sounds, leaves are Kraken
It gives me great joy every time
As the season flows, divine
Messy dandelions pout and flare
I basically just don't even care.
Will wait for seeds to fly
mow stems down by the by
Time to think of pools and sun
Time to hear the rooster run
Snakes lay low in thick jade grass
Ants work hard on homes of glass
Bird are cackling, chirping, calling
Dead pieces of last year finally falling
Now is time to run and play
Before scalding summer sun does slay
Will always treasure this annual show
Soaking up the windy glow
Even though my nose says no
I'll sniff the lily of the valley
Of each bloom make mental talley
Nature's display IS forever fresh
So winter I will tolerate you
Only because you give great hue
To life rebounding clean and new.
