Roses are red, April is grey but in a few weeks it’s gonna be May

Plant dreams and pull weeds, let’s grow a beautiful life!

Green grass pokes between my toes, the scent of flowers fill my nose

Why do flowerbeds have mulch? So you can’t see their underplants

Going Barefoot

How soon
how soon
is a morning in June,
a sunny morning or afternoon
in the wonderful month
of the Barefoot Moon?
I can go barefoot
like kittens and dogs,
bears and beetles
and hoppity frogs
as soon
as it’s June!

March is too early
and May still cold—
not for my nose
but for toes,
I’m told.

There’s rabbits and raccoons. There’s bees, ants, frogs, and cats.

They wear them late
and they wear them soon,
they don’t have to wait
for a day in June
to go barefoot.

And there are deer and beetles and spiders.

Down the hills,
along the valleys,
over the yards,
up the alleys,
making detours,
making sallies,
go dozens of feet
of mice and squirrels,
barefooted toes, barefooted heels,
knowing how every Weather feels:

Not Too Cold for Squirrels and Mice

It also looks at all sorts of bird, and kangaroos, too.

Eventually, June does arrive.

JUNE!

The day is warm
and a breeze is blowing,
the sky is blue
and its eye is glowing,
and everything’s new
and green and growing . . .

My shoes are off
and my socks are showing . . .

My socks are off. . . .

Do you know how I’m going?

BAREFOOT!

What a nice reminder of how much kids used to look forward to being to go barefoot.
