Through the window,
a willow tree basks,
in the morning sun.
Its boughs sway gingerly,
with a slight breeze,
of an oncoming storm.
Delicate blades,
of green grass,
whip around angrily.
Shaking off the chill,
of spring nights,
and cloak of dew.
The atmospheric pressure pushes
clouds beneath along,
and spring tears in the distance,
caress the ground.
As well as,
sending succulent aroma,
of neighbors apple orchard,
clumsily my way.
The old shingles begin,
to flap as the wind grows stronger,
and I withdraw from the window.
Wrapping myself tightly,
in my morning robe,
I retire to the kitchen,
for some coffee.
Thence enjoying the
sweet sound of music...

Some mornings are just great, when first viewed through the window.
Great description. You put the reader right in the scene and the experience.
I've lived next to an orchard; and enjoyed it when the wind brought those fragrances along.

This was slow, pleasant and peaceful. I liked the imagery, and thought that the background was wonderfully pleasant as well. Excellent work and good luck in my contest.
