Wild Open Rich Woods

As the Robins dart across
Ignoring the clouds of gray
And cold breeze with the dry air
Bob their heads eating a bug

Something to me not there
The Redbuds that in the wild
Do grow begin to show their
True colors along the roads

Nestled beside are trees that
Are beginning to awake
Soon different shades of green 
Will canvas the wild spring woods

Each tree shows its beautiful
Or knarled structure that's not
Now hidden by leaf, flower
Some being stately, others

Seem to be very dower
Some look as though being crowned
Or shaped by ice storm, children 
Climbing on the young weak limbs

Each one having a beauty
All their own adorning the
Woods giving rich character
To the wild open rich woods

rhythm is the "Da Dum, Da Dum," of a poem. It's the difference between free verse and blank verse. Words have different rhythms each. Fe: "accentuate"goes Da Da Dum Da

I don't know why, but it reminds me of the smell of the scene mostly, rather than the sight or sounds. Maybe's it's because I remember Oklahoma when I read it. I bet you can do more with it. I also understand it's free verse but to me, it would be very easy to make it rhyme or at least have rhythym. Good luck if decide to grow it some more.
