All In Readiness

run on

The Child standing next to me
As cute as can be
She is flirting with me and 
Entertaining me or,
as you please -
she must have heard that 
she's a ham, and plays it up,
It's part of her charm,
The mop of her curl,
Twisty

Red and pink
Tulips
The Color of
Spring time. blooming here 
in rainy Ohio.
Grass growing in so green.
The clouds hanging over gray.
Leaves start to form.
Trees bending in support, ready.

I wasn't ready to get the perfect shot - a camera! - 
The deer in our front yard, 
Nibbling springs' tulips, you could say he was 
Entertainment, too. This young buck, so brave! 
His horns just growing in; ready.
