Bees, Birds, Buds and Blossoms

It's mother nature's dance
  spring growth dubiously enhanced
  resting beneath the summer sun
  bees, birds and butterflies on the run;
hurried in and out the garden gate
  nestling in the flower blossoms safe
  a melodic hum drum
  to the beauty of the season come.

It makes me smile, causes me to see
  the simplicity of life in every bumblebee
  to feel the flutter of butterfly wings
  listening to every bird that sings;
a warble, tweet and trill 
  holds my heart with every thrill
  some garbled fish swim splash
  escaping the heron's gnash.

The waterfall dance
 stretched along the stones tranced
 with each reflections of some petal fall
 mixed colors from palette painted scrawls;
a dragonfly zipping along the pickerel
 beauty quite visceral
 the grandeur elaborate and intense
 this year's rainbow along the fence.

Welcome one, welcome all
 to the wonder and beauty of the garden's call.

A beautiful gesture and wonderful poem.. It would have finished a lot higher, however, I did state in the contest instructions to include a date, or it would finish lower.. Please remember next time. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
