Springtime Parade

Ankles swollen, shortness of breath;
I need exercise.
In March, daily walks begin.
Dread soon gives way to awe.

A succession of color and scent:
Daffodils first, then dogwood, flame azalea, tulip poplar.
Today, mountain laurel, fleabane, trillium, lady slipper, wood violet.
Ankles, lungs, heart, eyes, and nose give thanks.
