    Spring is just around the corner

    By Amber D. StonerApril 25, 2022Updated:April 25, 20221 Min Read
    Ode to Spring
    
    Green season is nearly here
    Sweet-water scent of life
    Cool, tender reeds on sandaled feet
    
    Green means birds
    Chirps, warbles, whistles, clicks, streams
    Masked by leaves, hidden among trees
    Song from everywhere and nowhere
    
    Green wild prairie grass
    Untamed spirit of growth
    Lively emerald spires piercing 
    Through the brown blanket of last year
    
    On a quiet path, the umbrella of trees whispers
    “Walk and relax and breathe”
    With a slight breeze, delicate quaking jewels
    Of fresh leaves spin vibrant
    
    Rosy and white petals of crabapple blossoms
    Release a fragrant melody for the bees
    Season of buttery trumpeting daffodils
    And tulips, tulips, rainbows of willowy tulips
    
    Spring is finally here

    Nature nearby is a monthly column by Eden Prairie resident Amber D. Stoner.
