green leaves unfold in dawn’s early light
reaching for the warmth of summer
heart-shaped, oval, linear,
thick, slender, feathery
bending and swaying
crooning ancient
melodies
until
dusk

Fabulous greens Siobhan. I could ID four out of the six
Thanks, Brian! 4 of 6 isn't bad, especially when they're close ups.
