Happy Spring, Everyone!

And the welkin dumps out its satchel —
There’re lovelies and vivids and powdered strings;
The franchise of petalous-sillage presents
To happy-flappy-zippy things.

Releasing! releasing! releasing! —
Succeeding the fibrous and silvery scurf;
The muse-ical tutors engage…reveal…
The hominal-audience’s inlying mirth.

The artist who tails and scales the improv
Falls in first-love with — all over again:
There’re pray-ers and butters and honeys and rains…
In flavored emulsions; ekphrastic pen.

It’s here! a’callin’ in full éclat —
And chiffchaffs chitchat about the delicious
Contortionist-guests of grass and ground;
Oh yes, it’s ambitious…and wormalicious!
