What month am I?
What month am I?

This month begins as winter fools us.
"Make up your mind." We fuss.
Crocuses hide beneath white snow,
the sun behind black crows.

We take a nap until those days
when warm winds bring soft rains
and color fills our daily dreams
as grassy lawns turn green.

Clear skies burst out in brilliant blue
and yellow fills our view
as dandelions and daffodils
cover cool fields and hills.

The apricots bloom pink and white.
If frosty nights don't bite,
we'll harvest their fruits come August
before the autumn's dust.

We salute the Earth for all she gives
that helps all wildlife live.
We gather her blooming tulips,
then plant new tulip trees.

I follow March. What month am I?
I bring wet cloudy skies,
dance in puddles that welcome May,
pick hyacinth bouquets.
