Jan Allison Poet Alexandrine

Notes About The Poem

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

Best wishes..Ron x Jan Allison March 23, 2020 at 6:59 PM Thanks Ron it is so lovely to see the beautiful daffodils on an estate about 10 miles from home and also the new born lambs - I took lots of pictures last week and we are going back tomorrow - we are almost on lock down here we must n't socialise but can go out to shop for essentials and can go for a walk as long as we keep 2 meters away from others. stay safe:-) hugs Jan xx

Mark Koplin March 23, 2020 at 6:40 PM a very beautiful tribute to spring Awesome poem!! You are truly amazing. Jan Allison March 23, 2020 at 6:57 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
