Friday Poetically!

 Yep, those people at http://onestoppoetry.com/ are at it again.

"It is March, green, Spring, there are leprechauns running around with four leaf clovers gifting luck to every one. It is a time of new life, new love, rejuvenation. Now go and write it!" 
Okay, Brian, you asked for it.


Welcome, Spring.

Small green spikes braving the chill

Thrusting further up until

The spiking leaves spread and show

The bud that nods its hello.

Snowdrop first shows its white head

Crocus follows where it’s lead

Daffodil, narcissus too,

Tulip and hyacinth blue.

White gives way to rainbow hues

And birds sing the joyful news

For Spring is back, her coming

Sets both heart and mind humming.

Big and blousy, small and neat

Every flower is a treat.

Cultivated or a weed

Each bursting forth from a seed.

Insects buzzing dizzily

Flit around so busily

While birds flit from bush to tree

Sorting where their nest will be.

From Winter’s dull grey and white

Life has burst forth overnight

Now touched by sun’s warming rays

Colours delight joyful gaze.
