Spring was showing off her true colors today in Seattle... Hooray for sparkling spring sky!!
"In spring, red sings from treetops: cheer-cheer-cheer, each note dropping
like a cherry into my ear. Red turns the maples feathery, sprouts in rhubarb
spears: Red squirms on the road after rain.
Green is new in spring. Shy. Green peeks from
buds, trembles in the breeze. Green floats through rain-dark trees, and glows,
mossy-soft, at my feet. Green drips from tips of leaves onto Pup’s nose. In
spring, even the rain tastes green.
Yellow slips goldfinches their spring
jackets. Yellow shouts with light! In spring, yellow and purple hold hands.
They beam at each other with bright velvet faces. First flowers, first friends.
In spring, white sounds like storms: snapped
twigs and bouncing hail, blink of
lightning and rattling BOOM!
Blue needs sun. Without it, blue hides. Then
suddenly, sparkling spring sky!
White can be quite, too: delicate petals
filled with light smell white.
And here, in secret places, peeps pink:
hairless, featherless, the color of new things."
