I cannot sit inside. No More!

When sun's rays doth readily pour

I want to hear bird chirps and squawks

Hear 'kee-kee' of circling hawks

Watch bare long stems reach toward blue sky

They tremble with the cool wind's sigh

Gray squirrel peeks over deck side stairs

He turns and runs from human stare

Trees branches bulge with green leaf buds

Tree sap is stirring like my blood

Birds call for mates from dawn to dusk

Pull hat down low, cool wind feels brusque

Hear wing flutter of gray titmouse

Black cat on hunt for tiny mouse

A small airplane flies overhead

Doe on a stroll along streambed

Most trees are bare, but not for long!

For leaves will pop, light green and strong

Spring rains will bring bright flower bloom

And put an end to winter's gloom
