Sara Kendrick Poet Quintain (English)

Mirth

The chartreuse green tassels quietly fall
Stately oaks release their blossoms to the cool damp earth
Dew glitters like diamonds 'pon the spring grass so tall
Stillness and quiet suddenly awakened by mirth
Serenaded by birds and bees whose love is birthed

Butterflies' cocoons await the right time
To kiss or taste a new blossom  that shines  
Then they'll split forth and out will climb
'Pon parsley, meadow rue, or Daisies dine
Spring's the time for butterflies, and flowers to align

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2014 at 8:06 PM marvelous quintain you did for Francine. and I see it was inspired by your spring day of april 12. I am loving the spring and seeing my trees in bloom. One of my favorite times of the year. Sara Kendrick April 13, 2014 at 7:06 AM The prettiest part of spring is over here..The dogwoods and the different shades of spring green in the woods is still very pretty but about half or more of things like the tulips, daffodils, wisteria, Japanese Magnolia, Star Magnolia, Forsythia, have finished...Sara
