Springtime A burst of color sprung up today First sign of spring's sweet bouquet Precious petals pushed their way through frozen ground Suns rays waiting patiently as they are crowned Drab colors of brown and black Stepping aside as bright colors attack Wiping away the ho hums of winters wrath To lounge basking in a sunshine bath Magnolia trees with buds of pink and white Reaching toward the heavens with all their might The dogwood trees in full white bloom Filling the air with exquisite perfume Hyacinths breaking ground as the snow thaws Purples and pinks to brighten the cause Joining in the dance with all the fellows Daffodils in white and yellows Springtime is the best time of year The start of life new and dear Bursting with a bountiful of color Just the beauty is worth every dollar Copyright BLJarrell 2005 |
