Trees in bud burst
open, unrehearsed,
wild mint-lemon taste.
X’s and O’s traced
on pale winter skin
by dandelion wind.
Hibernation is over.
We’re ready for clover.

I keep on saying this to myself “Hibernation is over.
We’re ready for clover.” every time I see “Trees in bud burst” especially now we are in up north in Canada so we are a little later after you

Thanks, Aquileana! I’m hoping spring comes soon. We once had twenty inches of snow on April Fool’s Day. LOL

I like the sound of ‘dandelion wind’ and the image of ‘x’s and o’s . We’re not quite their yet but it’s wonderful to read about it.
