Open wide the heavy wooden doors!
Backyard and front door
Shielded the winter winds.
Glass portals revealing new signs and sights of spring.
Bright blue cloudless sky,
Red breasted robin, pecking in the turf for treats.
Yellow daffodils timidly pushing aside the solid soil
To sway in the new found warmth.
The long spindly yellow forsythia
Dancing to the breeze’s choreography.
Green buds on the lawn tree promising
A verdant display of abundant leaves.
Azaleas and rhododendrons still asleep
Needing the greater warmth of May
They promise red and purple blossoms.
Potted pansies adorn our backyard patio.
Metal chairs pillowed with bright blue stripes,
Round table set for lunch.
Spring, we invite you to dine with us.
