Primavera - Spring
Botticelli and his Primavera-
a painting
visually lyrical
the subjects appear
sculpted
but are painted
in soft
delicate strokes
the women portrayed
with sparkling eyes
and flowing hair
wearing flower
and filmy dresses
it is a painting of life
and the awakening
of Spring
as the Zephyr wind
breathes
life into all things
while
the three graces
mirth and elegance
and beauty dance
in a green hued
garden
where the sun
has banished
the clouds away
and the mood is
serene
and tranquil
under
red apple trees
