A Silent Spring

The trees were cold,
When all of this started.
And now, we've had at least 2 60 degree days,
And a 70 degree one.
Is it May already?
The buds are opening,
I saw a dandelion a week ago,
But where are my friends?
The parks are silent
Except for the steady hum of the bumblebee,
And the gentle flap of the Robin.
Nobody is splashing in the stream.
All I can seem to write about,
Is COVID-19.
It seems that this year,
We are going to have,
A Silent Spring.​
