April showers
sprinkle delight
into the land,
stand the tulips
closed, at rest,
from yesterday’s
broad gaping
into  sunlight’s glee

See
they drink,
sucking up with toes
stretching deep
into soil’s grains,
tickle worm hides,
as they pass,
having awakened
their hibernation.

Alive
the earth is alive
spring drips its growing warmth.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Like Sunshine, my face split into a wide grin when I read about the toes sucking
Excellent imagery!
I loved it

Thanks, all, you've made my day!
I was hoping you'd see it that way.


Sorry, Interloper, about your face, hope it doesn't hurt.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
