Rockfowl

Dark storm clouds threaten

Wind tears at green newborn leaves

Tranquil trees stand tall.

Delicate puzzle

Branches ever reaching out

Sky fills up with leaves.

Dropping down steep slope

Liquid silver waterfall

Breaking into strands.

Azalea flowers

Colors parade up hillside

Vivid glow of blooms.

Ten thousand flowers

Ripple in soft April breeze

Bright sea of yellow.

Clouds draw day’s curtain

Young leaves tracing orange sky

Conjuring shy sun.

Among woodland trees

Sun dances on gentle waves

Sky floats on water.

Spring starts in valleys

Slowly climbs up bare ridges

Winter clings to peaks.

New leaves opening

Floating above bare branches

Rolling hills glow green.
