April Morning

popcorn clouds stretching themselves into cotton balls
a sky feeling somber, gently shadowing itself
fir trees darkening in the horizon,
a meadow glistening with dew
fifty-six degrees, a hint of spring
baby animals wake up beside their mothers
the world is coming back to life in time to greet May

Exceptional imagery. I loved it. Reminded me of lying out on the lawn looking at the cumulous clouds and letting my imagination run wild.
