side view breasts

middle of may
and song birds 

and wild flowers

are exuberant

in the heat of the day

then thunder and rain

releases the last 

of the snow

to begin it's journey 

back to the sea

(from May 13-2014,  80ºƒ )

Blue Kohosh 

uncoils

first violet 

then blue-green

Wild Ginger or Snake Root with deep red flower bells

and trilliums 

both red and white

and Gold Finches

Phoebes
and the little brown
Wrens sing
of spring
