Grass stalks rise upward.
to a head of fading gold
Their wings were fully spread.
a cerulean cape,
The morning smoke blows.
The willow tree was still drenched.
with lengthy icicles akin
Cat's whiskers
Daffodil drums sing an ode.
a parade in the clearing dew
on strewn gossamer
akin a wedding veil
Dawn weeps crimson tears.
and I'm just a whim
to embrace the richness of the dawn
as fresh as a chew
from a crisp apple
Rivers trickle under the branches.
Crocus blossoms in the melting snow
soiling their newly opened purple heads
dribble, dribble, dribble
Cherry blossoms burst open in my heart.
as young ducks.
velvet of a sunny yellow hue.
glide across the smooth lagoon.
Disposing of hatching eggs
of translucent porcelain.
an obvious awakening that appeared
would never happen.
