Happy first day of spring.
Welcome Spring!
A chalked hopscotch
blossoms overnight
that robin
won’t stop singing
whole fields gloat
sunny dandelions
a rainbow of tulips
sprinkles the town
muddy ruts scar the park
which smells of fresh-mowed grass
spring-fevered pickup trucks
race to every corner
air is heavy with spicy
fragrance of sticky leaf buds
I feel a raindrop on one cheek
sun’s warmth on the other

Violet,
Happy Spring. I am waiting for the snow to thaw and crocus to rear their heads.
