Bouquets of Spring

Up a country road  Wisteria blooms
The soft lavender fragrant buds await 
Easy sunlight gently touches blossoms
Sends wafing aromatic breeze thru gate

White Dogwood blooms spot multicolored woods
Gently lift and fall in soft spring air
Impressionistic Azalea blooms stood
Colorful ornaments on creek's bend fair

Narcissus stand in trim and neat rows
Except at homeplaces beside the road
Where they are free to send out young
For our rejoicing when spring has sprung

In the warm spring nature's bouquets abound
Sakura, Tulips  short time are around

Wow! Sara, great timing to think of spring amidst record-breaking snows and low temps. It lifts my spirit being trapped in the house with deep snow outside where only 4WD vehicles can navigate. Thanks for your kind remarks about my tax poem. You might want to look at my dandelion poem recently posted.

Sara, you should be very proud of Doris's poem that's posted on Deb Guzzi's blog. You have quite a talented and compassionated daughter. Love, Carolyn

Absolutely breathtaking images of spring, Sara. Especially love the way the dogwoods brighten the woodlands with their white flowers. Tulips have a short life, but the Lisianthus (hope I spelled it right) looks just like the tulip and it blooms in clusters all summer. Purple, white and a few shades of pink. Very hardy plants and they sometimes come back the next year. Hard to find them in nurseries though. Love your poem, Carolyn

I hope that where ever you are you are getting these beautiful blooms and scents on the air - It's still a barren wasteland here in the summits of New Mexico. Wonderful Sonnet Sara! Loev, Tirzah
