A Song To Spring -Contest

The joyous scent of living That leaps from life's perfume Spring murmurs its beginning From hope and dreams in bloom The choir of color sings of thee With hues in rich new verse As if this song was meant to be From rhymes all well rehearsed As petals graced with morning dew Rise softly towards the sun So in Spring hope doth renew Its perfect Love for life begun.

The choir of colors ... oh to hear the sights! A soft brush of lovely rhymes, fitting for this time of year. Pity it seems so short, and before you know it ... the days become scorchers! Good poem, Charlie.
