The ferns unfurl like
Dragons waking slowly from
A long winter’s sleep.
Old-fashioned lilac
lends sweet and stunning fragrance
To the morning’s breeze.
###
I’ve allowed myself
To feel hopeful about spring.
At least that’s something….?
###
I hear it nearby,
The red-bellied woodpecker,
Calling for a mate
###
Redbud compliments
The dogwood as the two trees
Blossom side by side
###
These lovely blossoms
Wreak havoc on garden’s edge -
Lesser calendine!
###
The birds sing loud to
Drown out the sound of chainsaws
Cutting down their trees.
