Palo Verde

I looked out the window and
what did I see?

Bright yellow flowers on the
Palo Verde tree.

Spring had brought me such a
nice surprise; blossoms
popping right before my eyes.

I could take an armful and
make a treat, an amarilla blanket
crunching under my feet.

It's never really spring;
until my eyes do see,
blossoms popping
on the green stick tree.
