Look out!
it’s here.
It’s poppin’ out all over
in shades of yellow, purple,
fuschia, red.

An azure blue heaven
is laced and striped
with tatted clouds
or made brilliant by
luminescent sunlight
glinting off the atmosphere,
sparkling off the dewdrops-
kisses from heaven’s
living water

spring,
vernal equinox,
far from infectious pox
but infectious
just the same!

twitter, tweet
sing your sweet
serenade
to the season
give us reason
for gaiety and glee

oh, me
what a silly plea
to think there wasn’t joy enough
in what we see
for plenty of
glee and gaiety!

Rejoice with me!!

first day of spring

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