Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

A Friendly Reminder

My River Birch has swelling buds
First signs of coming spring
So tiny and so delicate
With bright red fuzzy rings

A few of last years cones, dark brown,
Through lush green needles, peek,
At singing birds in camoflage
A game of hide and seek

The daffodils have yet to bloom
Their countdown has begun
Green sprouts are turning yellow 
As they reach toward the sun

Sweet aromatic fragrance 
Of the fresh cut lavender
Explodes and permeates the air
Spring's sweet ambassador.

A southern breeze, soft and warm
Like breath, a silent sage
It's nature's way of telling me
It's time to turn a page.
