A Hazy Shade of Spring

This began with the light haze of new leaves in the trees and the old Simon and Garfunkel song about winter.

       A Hazy Shade of Spring

The leaves start as the lightest green
fog, caught in the trees’ bare branches
then condense into darker clouds
summoning spring’s perfect storm –  
the sudden shower of birdsong,
bright lightning of the newborn sun,
then the comic thunder of the frogs.
