Note to Spring
The monsoons of March
with their downpours and douses
are greening the sides
of the fences and houses.
Yes, we love green (it is St. Paddy’s Day, after all!)
but we’re eager for more
colors to brighten
the outdoor decor.
Purple and yellow
red, blue, pink, and white
we’re longing to find
in the lengthening light.
Please don’t delay,
feeling bound by the date.
The welcome mat’s out, Spring,
we’ve unlatched the gate!
