Tail, Tail Signs of Spring...What does it bring?
It depends where you are.
For some, it means planting a garden,
growing delicious vegetables, then boiling,
and steaming them to finally
preserve it all in a jar.
Spring means warmer temperatures, melting snow.
The animal world preening, posturing and putting on a show.
The place I live brings the things of Spring out to play.
Birds full of song,
Birds full of song,
Butterflies full of color, bunnies, and lizards
interested in nibbling the grass
and catching some rays.
The flowers dressed in their best,
present themselves vividly and cheerfully.
Small dogs scratch at the screen door,
staring up, with pleading eyes and wagging tails,
eager to join the fun.
To maybe catch a lizard or chase a fluffy tail.
As long as he stays on the leash,
it's harmless and all will be well.
