spring is quietly sneaking
on satin slippered feet
down winter’s hallway
she listens smiling
behind closed doors
tulips are snoring gently
but soon to wake
daffodils are whispering they should
arrive fashionably late
stock market bees buzz of nothing
but honey drippings and ticker tape
pansies sip tea
gossiping about cherry blossoms
who wear pearl earrings
too willing to open their petals
doomed to fall for a rake

I love the imagery here and the lovely presentation.
Beware the rake. Now, the leaf blower…?
