April's Trees

April's trees wear winter's clothes
   Branches bare from tops to toes

Mocking lawns turned brilliant green
   Unabashed by leaves unseen

This is a very clever and observant write. My trees are just now beginning to bud. I've got some green patches but my lawn isn't that green yet. Good job here. God Bless, JB

I am thrilled to let you know that in Kansas my trees have "shed their winter clothes"

That's great. Maybe Chicago will be next...

Delightful, Gershon ~ perfect rhythm

Really good one, Gershon. And, so true! I see my dogwood still has no leaves, but the grass in the lawn is well-past first mowing time. Strange!

Same here in Chicago. Grass is really thriving now; leaves, not so much...

Love the new buds appearing!

Me, too. In Chicago, the new buds are still few and far between, unfortunately...
