Cherry Blossoms
March is wrapped in a fleece of snow
on which Dawn cast a golden glow.
But a robin's chirp says hello
promising Winter will soon go;
as spring showers fetch a rainbow.
Plants apply a base coat of green;
then time inks color to the scene.
Trees take on an emerald sheen,
and skies shift to aquamarine.
Pussy willows begin to bud
as crocuses pop through the mud
and meltwaters set creeks to flood.
Cherry blossom blooms open pink,
offering butterflies a drink.
My favorite season is Spring.
When fragrant scented breezes blow,
the sunsets are tinged tangerine.
And raindrops morph into lifeblood
as the soil becomes a heat sink,
fostering flowers May will bring.
