Aprils Palette
April rides in on the tail of March’s winds
whistling through the trees,
filled with newborn greens.
Harmony has returned to the fields as
chipmunks play chase among the narcissus
and tulips that dot the lawn,
in colors of pink, yellow, lavender and white;
a red cardinal sits upon the bird bath watching
while a grey squirrel, hunting for his stash,
chases away a snickering mockingbird.
I notice the purple irises are just beginning
to unfold their delicate blossoms, atop the greenery.
April rains will soon leave vacated stems,
but for now, I will bask in the suns bounteous rays
and enjoy the chromatic flora,
for I’ve waited months for this joyous moment.
