Spring

A yellow daffodil peeps up

Yawns and stretches in the morning sun

Cheerful squawks and furious flapping

As robins argue for angleworms

Swiped by the little boy in the faded jeans

On his way to fish at the farm pond.

Mom wanders the orchard, checking blossoms

Snapping off many to make sure the tree does not overbear

A hard decision, for a late frost might do the same,

and end the harvest before it starts.

Little girl in sunbonnet, crouches down

Poking at ladybugs with a tiny twig

Dad wanders the field with twine and stakes

Measuring out the vegetable garden before he tills.

The breeze picks up, adding a slight chill

Bringing daydreams of kites and laughter.

Spring has finally come!
