Where petals of morn dance as April slips Into a woodland brimming with glazed hue, Oh joys of spring’s approach blush floral tips To refresh my heart with colors, anew. Into a woodland brimming with glazed hue, The pansies, herbs flaunt their vibrant appeal To refresh my heart with colors, anew; Enticing dawn’s climb with a breathless zeal. The pansies, herbs flaunt their vibrant appeal And birdsong croons the merriest of hum Enticing dawn’s climb with a breathless zeal Until my body whirls on oaks all plumb. And birdsong croons the merriest of hum When joy of spring’s approach glaze floral tips Until mist nestles on oaks that grow plumb, Where petals of morn dance as April slips! -------------------- 10/10/2016 Pantoum Poem: Eve Roper’s Contest

the gentle scent of spring, a fresh fragrance from your poetry that lifts the soul..its where humming birds dance among the petals..it's also the month of my birth..

Strangely enough, I think the title is one of the best lines of this wonderful gem and I LOVE the way you use the variation of it in the repeating lines in verses two and three... Mystic's comment was spot on about your 'scented words'...Perfect description of your writing style - Tim
