Spring day hints of summer

Thermometer is red

All my neighbors mowing

And dig in garden beds

When my errands are done

I sit upon my deck

And feel my long dark hair

Tickle upon my neck

Gray clouds are drifting in

There will be rain tonight

And that's okay with me

For seeds will sprout with light

A little brown sparrow

Pulls dry grass from the ground

Flies away with booty

To weave a nest that's round

Red, white and blue wind sock

Sails up upon dark roof

And with the next wind blast

Drops down in showy spoof

Gusts of wind knock tree seeds

Groups twirl and spin to ground

Nature's parachutes drop

And land with little sound

Cardinal and blue jay

Stop by to grab some nuts

Watch tiny chickadee

Drop nuts, he's such a klutz

Gray clouds have disappeared

Bright sun is streaming down

So, on my deck I'll sit

Until raindrops reach town
