A Tribute to Spring
Daffodils and Praise for Spring
　Flirty daffodils against cerulean sky.
Violet lilacs shout their surprise.
Traipsing tulips light the days,
No more bitter hazy grays.
Good bye winter bitter cold.
Never believe what they have told.
Spring is no longer just a dream,
Phlox adorns green like sweet cream.
Summer closely on her heels,
Children's laughter, joyful squeals.
How I love the seasons true,
Thank you God for all that's new.
Spring is most welcome to me,
Winter is gone and I feel free.

Post a CommentLoved the sense of action & emotion & color images of the first four lines, especially. And OMG... your daffodil painting is so beautiful, Shana! The soft haziness gives a fragile quality, but they seem to reaching upward, growing strong. Very moving poem & picture. Thank-you!
