Into the Gaiety of Spring

A parade of virginal buds peep in delight Feasting on the wonder of spring reborn Dressed in purple, orange and red sunlight The rhapsody of garlands kindles new dawn As crimson sky rolls the hues upon thirsty lawn Swelling with April’s vow of cherished flings When passion beams long after hours fade to dusk And each burst of gaiety blooms on firefly wings Enticing one radiant day to strip clouds’ husk With pleas for an extended spring, do we dare to ask? ------------- Contest for Brian Strand

I especially like the fourth line of the second verse. I have never read anything that compared clouds to corn husks. Good double quintain Nette.
