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. March 9, 2022 Poem of the day on March 11, 2022 Placed 1st: A Brian Strand 1093 Placed 2nd: Form I – Imagism – New Poem Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

IThere is not one line or image or word of this poem that doesn't make me or take my soul into the mystical, joyful, sacred Spring. Your poem is marvelous. I will read it over and over.
