A Song of Spring -Anacreontic Verse

a sea of yellow
 waving daffodils
glint in the sunshine
 and greet us on this 
country road trip~
trees bedecked
in blossoms-
a soft riot 
of colorful buds 
 and popping petals
occasionally  
drifting lazily
to the lush verdant
grass carpet below...
as the sun
plays peek-a-boo
with drifting clouds-
the pitter patter
of raindrops
start slowly
but crescendo...
brief in nature~
(like spring itself)
until the showers
have nourished the earth
bringing hope
to the flowers
and to us -
Springtime Lovers~
a new Season 
to love
