The First Days of Spring
Uprooting dreams
of yesterday
time sows the seeds
of tomorrow.
And clouds shed tears
of April rain
as winter wanes
and warmth abounds.
Fleeing far-flung
sanctuaries
migrating birds
start heading home.
And on the winds
of open sky
caterpillars
try newfound wings.
Wild trillium
and daffodil
usher in the
first days of spring.
And tulips flaunt
their waxen bells
atop stems of
emerald green.
(Blank Verse)
