Jan Allison Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Notes About The Poem

Favorite Poem

(ORIGINAL TITLE WAS STUNNING SPRING)

 

Dainty daffodils,

pastel hyacinths

colourful crocus,

and vibrant tulips

dance in warm sunshine

 

Watch little lambs

gambol and play

in lush meadows

of vibrant green

 

New leaves dress

naked trees,

blossom blooms

 

I just

adore

 

spring
