Grateful Green!

A pale green haze clothes topmost branches!

Nature’s dressing up enhances

Horizons spied from window view

Chlorophyll is breaking through!

 

Though timid, seedlings bob their heads

Warm April means full steam ahead;

Will beans clamber up the staves?

I hope so, if the sun behaves!

 

Morning mists give way to blue

Dandelions say “Howdy do!"

Commune workers tame rough hedges;

Added sunlight helps wee veggies.

 

Here, on all sides, Nature thrives!

It’s wake-up time in nearby hives

Just a stone’s throw from my home;

Ants and caterpillars roam…

 

The thrill of Spring invades my heart

 Joy reigns where lock-down has no part

In total freedom, plants en masse

Crowd our byways as we pass!
