I Adore Stunning Spring

I see pretty flowers
in gardens and bowers

Vivid gold daffodils
line the banks of deep rills

Fledgling chicks spread their wings
listen as songbirds sings

Little lambs play in fields
I love all that spring yields

Theme 2 nature inspired

Mark Koplin Date: 3/23/2020 6:40:00 PM a very beautiful tribute to spring Awesome poem!! You are truly amazing. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/23/2020 6:57:00 PM aww Mark you are too kind, I did start a melancholy poem for the contest but ditched it in favour of a more uplifting poem. I am determined to keep positive and have fun with writing - we have 13 cases now confirmed and life is going to get more challenging as the weeks go on:-( hugs Jan xx
