Spring Peekaboo
Today, the long lost sun plays peekaboo,
prodding patches of snow to evaporate.
Green tinges on trees faintly accentuate
bare branches with a halo effect in view.
Yawning yellow daffodils nod and protrude,
after egregiously succeeding to navigate
winter weather alerts sent to intimidate.
Tornadoes rage in April's snowstorms too.
Lackadaisical plant growth from lack of light
fosters fortuitous environmental confusion.
Steady streams of daylight spurn roots to incite
trees and flowers to bloom almost overnight.
Animals shedding winter fur is not an illusion.
Awaiting spring tends to aggravate and delight.
