Question:A short little ditty for spring...................



First Haircut


Yard men coming;
Yard men going.
Yard men mowing
And blowing leaves.

Cleaning here,
Pruning there;
Yard men scurrying everywhere,
Ministering to a growing world.

There are shrubs to whittle
And trees to shape a little
In nature’s first haircut
Ushering in the Spring.

AH! I love the trend of spring poetry. Winter is finally over, grass is growing, and yes, Mother Nature needs a haircut. What a fun, cheery view to put on this. I love the trick of the rhyme in the first stanza, coming, going, mowing, blowing...I'm giddy...

its delicious!

"Nature's first haircut," a beautiful metaphor and a lovely poem as well.

A land scapers ode to nature?

You must live in the ritzy area of town! An excellent "scalp" on a rite of spring.

Hair cuts needed here, do they do silver lace, I wonder...
if they're not too expensive...

great poem!

Brown fall leafs caught in bushes
embedded in sprigs of greening grass
fallen branches from winter's storm
yet to gather to form a pile and still
I sit and watch the mess hoping
the elfs will mow my grass!

That's the way it is looking here in No. In.
Enjoyed your view better!
