burst of sound and color
March 21 - March 25 Week 67/72
large flocks of blackbirds have departed
leaving a few pairs sprinkled about in
grassy island hummocks hoping for sanctuary
from stealthy egg stealing beasts as shrill calls
of peeper frogs pierce the warming air
providing background music that rivals
vibrantly rising skunk cabbage spathes
and the fragrant fireworks blooms of witch hazels
