Magnificent Monday



trees & shrubs
dotted in green
the world
is new again

emptied pack
of fruit-stripe gum
colors more vivid
when I was a kid
late April winds blow,
whisking away winter sleep
frozen hearts, melancholy souls

orange peel residue
sunshine encircles me
all through the day

We’d had several storms move through the area during the overnight hours and after all the thunder and lightning and downpouring of much needed precipitation, this lone, little beauty beckoned outside our front door!
When I showed the photo to husband, his first response? “Oh. Nice shot of the truck!”

Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge for April 21st
Twenty-seven years ago
We said ‘I do’
And we did and we have
We continue to do
first mowing
familiar patterns
well-worn paths
