Spring porch

Spring sings with a gentle caress

Lilacs and magnolias surround

Aluminum bats ping away

Knock it out of the park, will ya?

Where’s your bicycle pump, old chum?

Birds not jumping but gathering

Day break comes complete with their song

Grab a pair of cheap sunglasses.

Try to remember summer’s store

Do we have insect repellant?

Not needed since summers gone by

Too early to use it just yet

Each day seems to glisten gem-like

Clouds arrive and fly to depart

Indulged like crazy relatives

Daffodils and dandelions

Sweet corn from the Carolinas

Al fresco and leisurely lunch

Strawberry dipped and melon iced

Afternoons drift sweetly away

May
