It's April

April brings with her the fragrance
of springtime, clean as airy grass 
cuddling baby blooms--
And nights grow longer, clouds in redder hue,
as bushes change to emerald instead of weeds-
while sounds of jaybirds recite
a  holy prayer--
through dreamy walks by the sea, 
I meet new season's breeze
knowing there is heaven in spring.

This particular contest of Brian's has seen an unusually high number of quality poems, several like yours centering on the 'religious' aspect of spring, the re-birth of life. Congrats, Norma-- you did fine work with this poem.
