Yesterday’s Sunshine

Yesterday’s sunshine
Yields to cool lowering clouds
Spring’s not over yet

Sweet Sounds of Nature

Sweet sounds of nature
Waking from hibernation
Greeted by sunshine

Clouds rest on mountains
Remnants of the colder days
Still hang in the air

Brightly shining sun
Belies thermometer’s tale
A chill in the wind

Tiny flower buds
Delightful exhibition
Creeps out silently

Tree buds blossoming
Revealing tiny flowers
Promising beauty

They didn’t last long.
Windswept magnolia blossoms
Around the tree’s base.

Cockerel greets the dawn
Earlier and earlier
Mornings getting warm

Blue sky, fluffy clouds
Spring seems to be here at last
Air still feels chilly

World awakening
Yapping dog joins dawn chorus
Sounds of contentment
