Soon There Will Be Flowers...

Soon there will be flowers

Trove of tempest drained

Lilies from lulled bowers

Violet vales unchained

Soon instead of snowflakes

Layered white on white

Spring will unveil landscapes

Dappled with delight

Beneath snow-quilt dozes

Tulip, daffodil

Gardens pink with roses

Daisy-dazzled hill

Hyacinth and lupine

Patient peony

Lilac, apple-blossoms

Green-leaf lacy tree

Winter winds down hours

To the poetry

Of bright-grinning flowers

Where white used to be

Soon while supper is cooking we will be looking at the clock, trying to decide if we should till or weed the garden, cut the grass or clean the windows, sweep porches or prune perennials, edge borders or freshen something with a fresh coat of paint so…enjoy the break!

Make that tea!

Read that book!

Soon there will be flowers…

 and weeds 

and cobwebs 

and gardens to dig 

and seeds to plant 

and trimming to do 

and bikes to ride 

and… well, you get the idea!
