SPRING salute

To walk

to strolling

to kicking rocks across the street

to holding hands

to silly jokes

to laughter for no particular reason

to incredibly blue skies

to astoundingly white clouds

to night so black

to the man in the moon smiling down

to clearing a patch and panting seeds

to tomatoes rot

to rainy days

to cold mornings

to hot coffee

to bologna sandwich

to chocolate chip cookies

to happiness

to spring
