April Greenery

April Greenery

A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

Same window

"


Fat rhododendron leaves wearing wet raindrops, supporting capes neath yellow buds. Some frost tinged brown dead edges, some yellowed rust dotted patterns tell of Winter's malice. The green moss below a lighter hue with crocus leaves in wet imitation of deep soft grass, A low bushy conifer provides shelter from errant breezes. The field stone retaining wall has its coat of green
living like paint on rougher surfaces. None of theses greens are the same hue
and all blend together to accent the browns and grays of branches in all their twistery. The wet mud sided road with wind swept sand patterns and puddles reflecting the neighbors' spring green lawn, is agleam with almost sunlight as the day attempts to brighten.
