I Give You-Spring

I’m spinning as fast as I can, But look at the distance I travel. Yet when I speed up for a short time span At the pleading of ignorant man, All of humankind starts to unravel, And lays blame, complete with the gavel! Disrespect comes in so many forms, And towards me, thousands by the hour. Still, you’ll soon get your spring after the storms On this great orb that outshines the norm. Coz, unlike planets that are more dour, Only earth can deliver you flowers. I give you spring, once more, as advertised; Not early, not late, nor as a surprise. For the Flower Song contest

Lovely touch, giving the Earth a character. And 'only Earth can deliver you flowers' should be a rallying cry for friends of the Earth campaigners. Great verse, good luck with the comp, David. #7 . Mister Viv
