Perrenials In Tandem

When spring arrives, the blooms appear,
up-shoot toward bright heavens' sphere,
and sprinkle earth with wondrous cheer.

In early March, belle crocus sings
of rattling joy her presence brings,

when chased along by daffodil.
If paired with roses' scarlet trill,
the wind applauds in shivered thrill.

Upon her heels comes creeping phlox,
to climb among the treasured rocks.

Clematis vine boasts vibrant hue,
now seeks acclaim for ocean's blue,
and strives to catch the morning dew.

In turn, Miss Iris bares her face
and proudly joins the vernal race,

The lilies fight for share of praise
and hostas’ stately arms up-raise
as birds rejoice throughout the blaze.
