Spring fever

Chicken love watermelon 

Spring and the flowers bloom

Oranges next to blossoms in the

Same tree

Early watermelon from Mexico

And the chickens love

The luscious sweet

But they don't like

Cantaloupe 

Soon the only thing left

Is watermelon juice stains

Beside drying pieces

Of cantaloupe 

Mint reaches towards sun

Open arms deep green

Mud is black and wet

Roses grandly flushed

Red leaves of the crabapple 

Tree catch and swirl 

In the wind

Dogs sleep and snore

Hummingbird clicks

A bee, then a wasp

Hover fly by

Wind chimes ring

And there I see the 

Hummingbird zoom zip

In the blue

Calling out

I am here

In this now

And me, I think,

On a day in spring 

I called in sick today

From work
