I wrote these for my Virtual High School class. We had to submit them to a website so, clearly, I chose YWP!

The air smells like rain
Musty perfume that I breathe
Lay me in the mud

Now things are growing
The green is greener than green
I'm living again

Thunder and lightning
A sonorous symphony
Play their sonata

Leaves begin to fall
Decaying perfume returns
Skeletons make trees

Crows car their warning
Everything's about to die
Make way for the Spring

I like the idea of this poem. I do have a question though. What is meant by "Skeletons make trees?" Also, you say the the crows send their warning because everything's about to die and yet, this is a poem about spring which is the birth of everything. Is it supposed to have an alternative meaning?
