Follow the Wind Piper

Follow the wind piper

Chase sprightly spring
	Capricious and fickle
Hide from the sun 
	All the changes approaching

Trumpet the daffodils
	Bright yellow sunlight
The robin returning
	Soft doves cooing

Wrap in fragrance
	Lilacs and roses
No more the scent
	Of morning snow
		
Touch each tree bud,
	Call them out,
With touch so gentle
	Into green blooming.

Run after clouds
	Playfully herding them 
Into April showers
	Soft rain.

Dash through cities
	Down busy streets
Announce in song
	The seasonal change

Dance through meadows
	Fields waking up
Dressed in bright flowers
	Of ev’ry color.

Smile on the season,
	Free sometimes wild,
Hope born of winter
	Now feel its joy.

Follow the wind piper!

Sam, I just love all the action words that start each stanza (chase, trumpet, wrap, touch, etc.) I feel in it. Doing what the wind is doing. This has a playful, color-filled darting, smiling, dancing vibe to it. Perfect for early spring. And again that signature of yours: a hope-filled ending. Love it! Congrats for #1! ~ John

I guess I can't help myself John. Much as I love little Eyore, I don't seem to be able to stay in a gloomy place very long - especially not in spring - a playful season! Thank you for all of your feedback and noticing the "action" verbs and all the colors. Did a little re-edit. I think it made it stronger. If you look at the laments in the Psalms, they always end with a prayer of confidence - except one! Thank you for your congratulations.

Hi Tom! Thank you for your congratulations. It seems to me that spring just seems to be able to put a smile on our faces and a little extra bounce in our steps - hope on two feet. Have a good day! Stay well. Over Fork Over!
