Aaah, Spring Green

When out from the dark arises the first spring leaves

and the landscape takes a deep breath aimed to please

with new growth of vivid green

creating a fresh scene

ready to feed the forest creatures

producing flowers of supreme features

that dazzle the birds and bees

who once inspired Socrates,

Anticipation replaces dormancy

and the sacred cycle will continue on past eternity

Rock, Petals and Pollen

Come to me

my fresh sprigs of green,

Come close

my perfumed petals of pollen,

Let me rock your worlds

with my warm earth

Ode to Hyacinth

Hyacinth, hyacinth

Let me take pleasure in your sweet scent

Life is more worth living with your presence

Spring Sparkle

Forsythia, forsythia

just when I thought there was no end

to winter’s bare branches,

you took my breathe away!

Thrill of the Daffodil

Is it true what they spill

that a flower has the will

to grapple with winter’s kill

and cure the season’s ill

at the first flowering frill

offering us a thrill

if true, it must be the daffodil
