Spring Peeps

Dirt breathes

As grass stands mute.

Geese yell

While the sun whispers.

March croaks

And spring peeps.

I wanted to emphasize the sounds of spring while using multiple meanings of peeps; it is not only the act of looking but also the sounds that small frogs called spring peepers make for around two weeks at the beginning of spring.  They become especially loud at night and their ability to lull me to sleep even trumps the low hum of a window fan.
