Roses are read,
where color is words.
Violets are blew,
and sing with the birds.
Her tendrils in time
stretch out to renew,
for Spring isn’t blind,
her labors ensue.
When yellow as time
and auburn as rest,
there comes but a moment
only love knows best.
So turn from the Westland
where winter-deep lives
and point your eyes East
to gifts Summer gives.
Here, in the triage
of heaven’s remains
we see what is needed
to seed late Autumn grain.
Return’d now to Fall,
with not yet wearied skies,
and before sleep succumbs,
she bids all goodbye.

Oh, I dunno. About as excited as I was the first time I ever heard, “There once was a girl from Nantucket…”
