Song of Spring Flowers


"Roses rooted in the earth
Bud in rhyme and verses sage
Lilies laugh at joyous birth
Strewn across the patterned page"

Marigolds whisper their charm
By scripting a soft story
Daisies sway with sweetest smarm
Penning down their grand glory

Small red bells nod in assent
To the cadence of their rhyme
China roses' heads are bent
To the rhythm of vowel-chime

Daffodils, they smile in glee
Tingling, they craft a jingle
Tulips totter tenderly
Metered to gaily mingle

Magical magnolias
Murmur their divine ditty
Fun loving forsythias
Share their poems so pretty

All these stunning Spring flowers
Inspire with their dulcet dance
Watch and admire the powers
Of their Parnassian glance

I love the bouquet you could make using the many beautiful blooms you describe, Jo. And I also admire the way you personify the flowers, having them murmuring, nodding and whispering. A lovely entry for the contest. Winning wishes for you! Hugs, Carolyn

You missed the "forget-me-nots". Just joking. :) your poem is filled with flowers. It would be impossible to mention them all. Beautiful though.
