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?
