an ode

Dear Spring, I love you
I love your beans and peas, your zucchini, asparagus and artichoke, I love your lemons
I love your wisteria, your clematis and your roses
I love your pimms cups, your long necks, your optimism
I love your bare legs, your surprise showers, your cool mornings and your longer days
I love your open windows
I love your bike rides and your plans for summer and your clean sheets
I love your parties and your promise
