Ode to a Season Late in Coming

Spring Thinking

By Kathryn Brennan

A field of bluebells
drenched in the early morning mist
A blossom loosening wind
scattering colorful petals about
A single rosebud unfolding
after a morning rain shower
A single strand of spider web
dancing in the breeze
The hum of honey bees
in search of pollen
Jasmine growing
on honeycomb lattice
Colorful butterflies
leaning into the wind
A walking path
covered in wildflowers
A new crop of stones
in the vegetable garden
A closed fist
sowing seeds into the earth
Explosions
of runaway dandelions
Snow white daffodils
fluttering in the breeze
Wild mushrooms growing
on mossy trees
Morning Glory's
climbing backyard fences
Sparrows singing
sunrise melodies
