Signs of Spring

SIGNS OF SPRING The lawn is riddled with robins A bevy of bluebirds too Finches on the finch socks And sparrows, more than a few Three pairs of cardinals feeding I count a dozen doves A sextet of crows all cawing Chickadees circling above Buttercups blooming in profusion Along the roadside, beautifully arrayed In my lawn I see the furrows The digging moles have made There's a pretty bluebird couple Building a nest in the bluebird box And the flash I saw in the bushes Was two kits and a mother fox Yes, wherever I look it's Spring time My favorite time of the year Trees are blooming in all colors I'm glad Spring time is here Curtis Moorman 10 March 2013
