April finds the forest floor
starred with flowers by the score.
Trilliums and violets too.
Both the yellow and the blue.
Ferns, uncurling from below,
lacy fronds begin to show.
Where the sunlight filters through,
diamonds sparkle in the dew.
Sweet aromas from the plants,
to my eager senses grants,
perfume only April brings,
Savored from remembered springs.

Thank you all, for reading and commenting. There is no sign of April flowers here.  It has snowed for two days.
