Victor Buhagiar Poet Ghazal

For Spring Is Here

Let me 'neath fleecy clouds be. For spring is here.
God's creation all for me. For spring is here.

So many glorious gardens to admire,
Clematis attracts a bee. For spring is here.

Aubrietia produced in profusion,
Scented Daphne in valley. For spring is here.

Up in the mountains, veiled with alpine flora,
Wild primrose and rosemary. For spring is here.

Orioles and robins lured by blush cherries,
Magnolias so airy. For spring is here.

But there on the calm wide seas, racing dinghies
Ketches, sloops sail to the quay. For spring is here.

Oh man, what's that I hear, someone is sneezing?
Hay fever? Or allergy? For spring is here.

Judy Ball September 20, 2020 at 10:08 AM Spring is such a wonderful time of year. It is Autumn here in Canada and though we miss the sweet smells of Spring Autumn has The riot of color that no other season has and the merry, busy days of harvest. Each season is so wonderful that I can never make up my mind which is my favorite. Great write here celebrating Spring. God Bless, JB
