Metamorphosis









Tangled sticks bud softly into blossom-laden boughs.

Birds gather tufts of pampas grass in finicky beaks.

Black clumps of fur dot an over-vacuumed rug.

Bare white feet slip on well-worn flip-flops.

Plump rabbits loll in the fleeting sunshine.

Morning light inspires hands to plant.

Frog eggs evolve in a sleepy pond.

Pink clothes plead to be worn.

Sky surprises with blue.

Pollen falls thickly.

Life begins.

Spring!
