  • Green Grass

    The sun surprised the plants every where
    Redbuds eagerly flashed purple residue on the bark of surrounding trees
    Roses swelled with secrecy

    The ground, though, hard with thirst
    Farmers scratch around
    It was slow at first
    A couple restaurant conversations
    Then it made the radio
    Finally the television
    A drought had struck spring

    Your daffodils ever so slowly wilting
    Your trees lightly budding
    Your grass green
