Snow still covers the ground, As a warm sunny morn we do have, Three days without frost, Three days it has been warm. This morning as out I went to the paper pick up, As I did near the forsythia bush, I stopped and a big smile I did get, For little yellow flags I did see. Yellow buds, buds on most limbs, Yellow buds just coming out, I stopped to check them out, Gingerly the small limbs I held. A sign of spring, oh me oh my, Forsythia telling me it is nearly time. Though not a robin I have seen, Only that one crazy crocus. I did cut three small branches, Wondering if the weather forecast was correct, Would it this night snow, Would these yellow buds freeze and die? © By Tom (tomWYO@aol.com) Watch these pages for more poems by Tom.
