David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Ephemeral Vernal

Seasons renew, Springtime approach 
    Careful now, winter may encroach
        I welcome, without reproach

 Peel back blankets, reveal fresh sheets 
     Buds in humid air, growing sweet
         Cycle of life, now competes

Mother nature, seeds breakthrough earth 
     Gestation over, brings forth birth
       Primal scream, explosive mirth

    All too soon, grasslands dehydrate 
      Overhead sun, heat concentrate 
         Goodbye spring, evaporates
