The syntax of spring has sprung its magic
while tongue can sing its glad astonishment
at bulbs bursting into varied color
when slight showers bead yellow daffodils
dancing in shifting, blustery, cross-winds
that are the hallmark of the month of March
when grass and greeny shrubs begin to bud.
*
Dandelions burst with their yellow crowns
as their fierce roots dig deeper into ground,
while crocus shouts out a promising nod.
*
In similar fashion the startled brain
begins to plan how to participate
in renewal of this wondrous season.
It’s time for the shovel to heave one’s world!
