Crafty Spring
Spring drips in and
all growth becomes riddled with
desire for warmth,
ridden with need for having more.
Freshly risen, green
gets liquid-addiction, an invisible
draw makes each sward
swoon for regular fixes of water.
Crafty Spring knows
plants crave doses so being fickle
he drops trickles used
to tease shoots upwards for fuel.
Potent, he opens
cores formerly hidden, then the
illicit physician lopes
in to flippantly dominate flora.
Bold, he impregnates
the inactive deep sleep of nature,
forcing in wet sensuous
potions to unclothe closed petals.
Young Spring hangs around
to tickle ground\'s fancy yet Sol\'s
hot passion he fears,
so as heat rises he disappears.
