Spring

Madrona
Scatters
Snowy white
Bells
Undresses
Its burnt umber
Bark

Cherry
Erupts
Delicate feathers
Petaled clouds
Tied to branches
Inviting
Dreamy fruit

Fern
Unfurls
Sleepy flags
Waking up
Remembering
Dinosaurs
Defying logic

Pea vetch
Erecting
Leafy ladders
Tendrils
Touching voids
Climbing
Seeking the sun

Lilac
Kissing
A thousand lips
Tasting
Tongues of bees
Inviting
Lovers embracing

Fir
Painting
Green splashes
Greener
Brush tips
Expanding
Needle fingers

Dandelion
Populating
Children’s imagination
Flowering butter
Floating fairies
Ever present
Like the sky

Sunshine
Radiating
Sprouted seeds
Coaxing
Sleeping life
Raining
Toward summer
