Springtime in Ojai

Spring came dizzy and laughing.
The bougainvillea caught fire,
the orange trees put on their best
white; suffused the whole town
with their perfume.  The doves,
drunk on sunlight and dew,
warbled and fussed in the oaks
while a crow, unstirred by all
this bustle, croaked a hoarse
rebuke from the green, green lawn.
