Spring

Suddenly
sound travels differently
blackbirdsong counterpoints
playground shouts

the air is gentler -
scarves become annoying
and winter coats are left at home

dead looking wood
buds, unfurling
architecture
of entire new worlds.

    what a register of spring... how funny that scarves and coats will soon be replaced by sleeveless blouses and sandals... can't wait.. love yr descriptive worlds of sound, air and plants... as a crazy gardener i can hardly wait... watching the buds form on trees and bushes... tho still very cold and snowing...

    That's easy for you to say!

    First because I coudn't poet spring (or much else)no matter how I tried, and second because it just won't get here!

    'scarves become annoying' is a great line. Actually I didn't get mine out this year. I'm never that keen on them, a bit too constricting for me.

    I love that phrase "unfurling/architecture/of entire new worlds"

    That it it exactly, as you wait for the leaves to come and fill in the empty space!

    (and I love your comment tag "birds singing")
