Spring on the Poetry Pole

Smokey-Bro:

"We were taking a walk
And what did we find
But a poetry pole
With Ma's poem inside."

Spring

Tulips outside my front door.
Lilies in my neighbor’s yard.
Pink and white rhododendrons
emerging from their buds.
Crocuses lined up like purple soldiers
waiting for a drill.
New brides yawning,
stretching toward the sun.

"Yay, Ma! 
Woof to you."
