Flowers Blooming Everywhere

I tiptoed through the tulips And leapt over the lavender bed I covered the ground in red rose petals And laid out a picnic spread I winked at the Black Eyed Susans And flirted with the buttercups I sipped my glass of dandelion wine As my eyes drank all the beauty up I patronized the pansies And was mesmerized by marigolds I assembled all the azaleas Into my memory portfolio I borrowed from the begonia Her bouquet of wondrous smells And listened for the tinkling Of little silverbells I was dazzled by the daffodils Enjoying every one of them And couldn’t take my eyes off Of the blooming geranium I snapped pictures of petunias And was patient with the impatiens I love the lily of the valley Not to would be a sin The garden is my canvas Springtime her coming out My favorite time of year Of that there is no doubt written and posted on 4/5/2012
