Cherry Tree by Sara

There is a moment
When colorful buds
Peer, half-asleep
Through heavy lids,
And wonder if they have
A few moments more
To rest like weary eyes
Before busy visitors - humming and buzzing
As they fill their pockets with golden pollen treasure -
Arrive.
But the sun is warm.
And the songbird is here - joined by another and another -
Together sounding the alarm that spring has finally come.
So it is time to wake up.

This is just to say by William Carlos Williams (sent in by Lisa)

I have eaten 
the plums
that were in 
the icebox

and which 
you were probably
saving 
for breakfast.

Forgive me 
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
