As Spring Arrives

Butterflies wink as spring arrives A heady feast into a glossed night, Silky the threads in moonlit dives Fluttering on groves to delight Robed by leaves, a precious sight! Under shades of green, dappled trees Hued monarchs invite birds to croon A tweet of love songs for May’s trapeze; Plumes spreading like a laced festoon To wander off, then back to swoon! A Spring Day in English Quintain Sponsor: Francine Roberts by nette onclaud ~ 5/3/2014
