The Progression of Spring

First, the Weeping Willow gets her yellow yawns
Which slowly turn their lime green, and then dark.
Then, the Veronica and Violets start to appear.
Soon, the Hyacinth and Bluebells are coming up
In their nectar scents, and then comes the Redbuds
In their purple leaves. And then the Dogwoods
And Bradford Pears' musk; On the trees, the budded flowers show
In their newly forming leaves, and throughout the spring
They grow, until in Mid May, they are fully open
And a whole new world is alive.
Then the Roses make their appearance
To scent the forest with a sweet perfume,
And then finally the Honeysuckle in June.
