While the Rest of the World Stands Still by Kristina Woodhill
Dandy lions again pop up and romp
within our south side growing bed
putting on their pretty skirts
all layered matte green,
hems edged with broad pinking shears
Their big yellow mouths roar
spring! spring! spring!
Two weeks from now
they'll quietly extend
their puffy white
miniature umbrellas
welcoming any rain
to their neighborhood
Swaying their gentle
come-hither
wind dance,
enticing the storm
