A Salute To Spring

High up in treetops the rich song of an Oriole echoes and dances 'cross rooftops Twirling birds on tippy toes give salute to spring in pose Asters in boxes burst in full bloom upon window sills While daisies share with foxes giving hearts and keen eyes a thrill to these beauties without frills Purple Passion grace Lush green fields where wild Milkweed grow- a butterfly’s flavored taste Its sweet nectar gently flows igniting spring as love glows ~*~ 4/14/14 9th Place .. "Spring in English Quintain"

Dear Annalise, I see the Baltimore Orioles inspired you. LOL Yes, it all comes down to sports for me, but I can appreciate the many beautiful images you created, especially the birds giving a "salute to spring in pose." Congratulations, dear friend! Love, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn...At the time of writing this, the weather and birds rebuilding their nests were my inspiration...However, the rain seems to be here to stay for awhile. : ) Enjoying it though...no complaints! Love you much!
