Medley and April Blue by Joan McNerney

Medley

April quietly turns

emerald green.

Breezes shake apple

blossoms… an aromatic

blizzard.

Listen to this soft

symphony of raindrops.

After showers, gardens

of stars flower.

Evening is the dawn

of night time.

Meteors write poetry

across heaven.

April Blue

This is when we search for

color to transform cold grey.

Rainfall begins its magic

high lighting sky blue.

We see stacks of luminous clouds

as plants pop out and forsythia

bursts sparkling yellow stalks.

Just today a breath of warmth

brought alive crepe myrtle.

Aromatic lilac bushes cluster in

soft bunches while birds and bugs

encircle them.  Ten trees all dressed

up in lustrous greens boogie through

noontime breezes.

Spring is waiting for us!
