Unclad Flower

.

                 Crunch
    left-over leaves of winter

                   Peek
  the premature green growth
                of spring

                  Touch
    the unclad flower’s bloom
    at the climax of Summer’s 
                   zenith

And a beautiful, long awaited flower it is, Sir James. At the moment my entire being is concerned with the sensation of approaching spring, but love your summer thoughts. Love, Dave
