Mirth

The chartreuse green tassels quietly fall Stately oaks release their blossoms to the cool damp earth Dew glitters like diamonds 'pon the spring grass so tall Stillness and quiet suddenly awakened by mirth Serenaded by birds and bees whose love is birthed Butterflies' cocoons await the right time To kiss or taste a new blossom that shines Then they'll split forth and out will climb 'Pon parsley, meadow rue, or Daisies dine Spring's the time for butterflies, and flowers to align Sponsor: Francine Roberts Contest: A Spring Day In English Quintain Written this 12th day of April 2014

The prettiest part of spring is over here..The dogwoods and the different shades of spring green in the woods is still very pretty but about half or more of things like the tulips, daffodils, wisteria, Japanese Magnolia, Star Magnolia, Forsythia, have finished...Sara
