Potatoes soon and carrots
Spring dissolves winter gloom
distilling opening buds drop
their scale, now snow is gone.
Chestnut leaves carried home
for Mothers-Day and grandma,
joining anemone and violet
in jars and vase and jam pot.
Church-bells, bonnets and
white tailed rabbits skipping lambs
Easter eggs announce another year
Good Fridays pass un-noticed
Lent forgotten and Passion Sunday
Palms and Easter Day, (The list
does not rhyme, if ever once it did).
Regret not passing of the past
today shall become a yesterday.
Let rain beat on window-panes
willow buds turning green
on veils of yellow branches.
May flowering in the hedge
sparrow, chaffinches and tit
stoat and weasel, fox and hawk
hear their laughter and the fears
smile and cry with them, share
as does all nature, all and more,
it is there for you...Take it and pay ....
Potatoes soon and carrots, ride
the roundabout, do not trip,
hold tight the rail and let it spin
round and round and roundelay.
