Wow Frank,
Spring huh? lol I'm just about to get out into the yard and start raking
up the leaves...
Beautiful images and sounds (especially when read out loud). One nit
though, L9 is just a little too long I think. The last 3 lines are
exceptionally wonderful. These birds and trees sound so exotic to me, are
they common around your neck of the woods?
CW, Mary :O)
