Beetlebung and Kettlehole--April Poems

The Color of Delight

The color of delight is amber
like the perky forsythia bush
waking up the backyard
into spring
for daffodils to bloom
rapt in awe,
butterflies to float
on wings of yellow dust,
pollen shaking free
to push for life
such as baby chicks
dipping beaks in ground corn
and canaries crooning arias
with lyrics blurred.

And as you search to find me
when I am lost in the wind,
amber sparkles in your eyes
to lift me up high
to catch the sun.
