Spring Sprung

Spring has sprung,
it's just begun
with tulip heads and arms
sprouting up out of the ground
frozen and silent all winter
snow covered
frost filled
spring comes to melt it all away, soften it up
and make way for tulips
bleeding hearts
daffodils and iris
crocus and earthworms

the birds are singing
they are doing more than singing
hot and heavy, they breed their way into the new year
the other day I saw two sparrows getting it on
no kidding
she wasn't playing hard to get

the ducks and geese return
babies line up in a row
yellow fluff the color of daffodils

spring softens us up
softly butters us up
with sun and rain
melts away the winter gray
puts your long underware away
spring has sprung
it's just begun
