Frolic of Spring

I pause for a robin, musing on dogwood pink,
As red cardinal dashes-in, hops, hops, and sits,
Warbling of silken-rose blossoms of peonies
And fragrant white flowers of magnolia’s zeal
While you’re lost in waltzing yellow daffodils
Where sparrow is whistling flapping its wings
Amid birds chirping, rejoicing flowering trees
Gathering grass, twigs, weaving with beaks,
Enamored in courtship, dreaming of hatchlings,
As leisurely we stroll, exalting frolic of spring.
