The birch trees
are splattered with new green.
Buds like pretty envelopes, unfold
to reveal letters greeting
summer.

Shawn L. Bird 
Really dig this!
Thanks.
That’s groovy. 😉
🙂
[ Smiles ] Oh, this is nice!
Glad you like it!
🙂
Trees are just budding here in Michigan, a couple weeks later than usual. Confound you, polar vortex!
Global climate change in action! We’re several weeks late here, as well.
Awwww – very awwwwww as in sweet with a touch of a -sigh- a sigh of relief that winter is over and a sign of peace.
Thank heavens.
Lovely analogy.
Thanks
Ah, the trees in bloom. We had one in the front yard till the wind blew it down last year. God, I’ve got to get out of the city. Your poem is lovely.
I’m glad I have such a beautiful commute. Best of luck finding new trees! 🙂
Gorgeous imagery! love this!
Thank you.
I miss buds! We don’t have spring here, just suddenly summer. Could smell the Spring in your words.
How intriguing! Where are you?
Gibraltar. We dont have autumn either, which is a shame, I miss the colours!
Well. You have the Mediterranean. That’s a pretty good consolation!
Loved the ‘pretty envelopes’ !
🙂
Nice and simple Shawn. It’s good to let the words unfurl.
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Mike.
I love Spring!
Ditto
Lovely spring imagery, Shawn! Have a great day!
Lauren 🙂
Thanks Lauren!
Sweet and brilliant thought about the buds like envelopes, Shawn. That’ll stick in my mind as watch spring make its swift run through my neck of the woods.
May the letter of summer open soon! 🙂
This is so pretty. I love the metaphors and images.
Thank you.
