Striped brown bird on wire fence

Checks out garden, look intense

Looking for a seed or two

Drops and swings on dark green yew

Rain is forecast for today

Clouds will color sky soft gray

Hope is peeking from clay soil

Bright green shoots from deep dark toil

Daffodils are on their way

Promise yellow flower sway

Crocus shoots are peeking though

Yellow, purple, striped ones too

Flower show is weeks away

But green shoots leave my heart gay

From dark brown soil life will pop

Bright flowers will dance jazz bop
