A Spring Sonnet About Birds and Butterflies


Velvet wings of brown, blue and ebon midnight hue 
farfalla butterflies that soar close to magic colugos 
spring is here hanging in with wonder, life renews  
as the sun shines soft, from here to sweet Montego  

Green lush leafy branches waving in the breeze 
wood peckers, hummingbirds and columbidaes
monarchs, swallowtails, yellow painted ladies
winds of change arrive alongside warmer days   

I sing me a tune that has a melody real sweet 
reminding me of summers that came and went 
I sing about the flowers growing in my suite 
while strolling down a path of glorious wente 

With a spring in my step I shuffle and dance 
knowing I am more than ready for romance

Your last two lines are my favorite and the first line of that stanza certainly describes you whole poem. I am so delighted to have found a spring poem that dances around with new life.
