Proviso

 

Specifications

for a fine day in May:


More than just

a handful of time available;

but a bucket, a bushel, a basket

waiting to be filled.



Some woodland wildflowers;

like Mayapple, Trillium, and

a velvet-soft Hepatica all qualify.


Migrating warblers are essential;

Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, 

Yellow and Bay-breasted.



A warm breeze is necessary,

borne in the southwest, carrying

a promise of the mid-seventies.


The most obvious requirement

is to be outside, under the broad

blue sky arranged with small cumulus.



And hopefully, a proviso of words,

waiting with eager anticipation,

and qualified to enter these lines.
