Rising Sweetness--By Dwight Roth--United States

Rising Sweetness

Naked Maples
Line the edge of the field
Shivering,
When March winds whisper hello!
Hints of warmth call forth
An adrenaline rush of sweetness
Rising in spongy bark,
As spring calls each one by name
Spouts sink into bored trees
Knowing sweetness flows within
