A Riot of Color

Yesterday the trees were bare
  Today tiny buds sprout everywhere                                                  

Bright flowers bloom within a day
  Lilacs, daffodils, bluebells 
                       Why wait for May

Spring bursts forth in a riot of color
  If my tulips could speak 
               they’d whoop and holler

So interesting to imagine what flowers would say, if given the power of speech, and whooping and hollering is a good guess, Gershon. Lovely! :)

Spring actually went away in Chicago. Saturday - 86 degrees fahrenheit. Today - 40's with a howler of a north wind. Had to wear earmuffs.
