Flower Storm

**Another Spring inspired poem. :-)

Flower Storm
May 2001

Pink confetti flew
like snow on the air.
Bells chimed in time,
Excelerando as petals danced
a crazy joyous dance,
in circles on the wind,
playfully swirling on the ground.

Petals darted
back and forth outside
my window. One quickly splatted
against the screen
as a snowflake would stick
to glass.

One tree let go its flowers,
a gift to summer.
Spring started her good-bye,
pink making way
for rain and green, as winter
had given way
to my flowering parasol in April.
