Dawn is seeping in dark house

Creeping like a little mouse

Birds are tweeting on brown deck

As they do bird feeder checks

Leafy sprouts are peeking out

Tree buds swelling all about

Birdsong calling for green spring

Bugs and worms that spring rains bring

Sun shines longer everyday

Driving off drab winter gray

Curled up in soft chair to read

Watching snowflakes white stampede
