Spring - Rafael Block

[Larry Robinson]

Spring

 
With a whoop and a fling
blossoms she brings
singing, it's April 
it's April, it's April. 
 
Pop out to see
my purple tablecloth billow
waves of songbird
on branches and twigs
pink and white bursts.
 
Step lively to
fall's rattling shells
crows' flap 'n gab
buzzing wings and legs.
 
Under the gliding moon
owls beat the meadow
blazing with thirst
eight silken eyes sip
my million morning pearls.
