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.
