Pussy Willows In Spring

Pussy willows are growing
                              By by a creek running free
                              Tiny little tufts of soft fur
                              Are very appealing to me

                                 Wrapped in parkas
                                  Around their chins
                                    Insulated from
                                   The March winds

                                  In the month of April 
                                 Leaves will appear again
                                 And Nature's little kittens
                                Will make the children grin

                                          ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~

Very nice Janet. We have a pussy willow in our back yard. I really like it. A seven from me and thanks so much for the kind words on my "Say Whut?" Every now and then I'm gone for awhile so I'm sorry it took a while for me to get back to you. God Bless, JB

Really nice Janet, this does definitely bring back memories of my youth. I can't even tell you how long it has been since I've seen them growing in the wild. You have described the soft sensation perfectly
