Spring In Bloom

Cream colored tulips and satin red roses
   intermix fluid in the garden.
One flower fades away as another takes it place,
  like croci giving in to daffodils.
Marsh daisies and wild violets blend between the hosta
  and minimize the scent full of lily of the valley.
A lone white iris bloomed today, stunting the green of others
  holding high its flowered head above the may-apples.
At last the hint of peeking gladiolas rise,
  red and pale green above the ground.
Yellow green eunonymus glow lime green in the sun
  vibrant and colorful around the bark of an old broken oak.
Wild mustard rises and bloom in clumps
  yielding dainty bouquets of delicate white florets.
With this early spring that lingers dry and warm
  everything will bloom before its time.
