Front door The turning key clicks A vacuum sound as door pulled All of nature's cold air explodes A rooster crows Flood of sounds A woodpecker is feeding on a post Silly bird, like dynamite booms That sound is heard Doesn't slow other birds The doves coo Crows caw their warning Mockingbirds realize it's morning Sparrows too busy eating to rue Spring color Spring green tender leaves Weave a delicate quilt Oak tree's chartreuse tassels Offer a different gilt Maples' tender leaves in guacamole' Redbud leaves are in still in bud Poplars beginning in forest green very slowly Gingko has no show but it's no dud In-between The kitchen hub is busy Breakfast prepared but simple No time for a morning tizzy Baked banana and date-nut bread nimble Then I sit and rest a spell Upon pain and trouble do not dwell I think about God, Who loves me still And wonder do I do His will?
