Spring

He soars to the wonder
of wings, and a lilting-trilling
song; a cozy rest, an orange
red breast, mother robin
at roost in a tree, tucked 
safely away at a “V” – where
the hawk’s keen eyes wont
see – 
    
further fanning the poet’s
inspiration, leaves aflutter
in the tuneful breeze…
            while 
the rest of us
simply sneeze….

Hi Pangie. Spring is the loveliest time of year I think. Of course, our eyes and mouths do not always agree with our skin and tummies. Have a beautiful day my friend!xx

Mother Robin sure is one smart dame there! I like the way you positioned her, out of harm's way. She's smart and safe. Thanks, Gershon

For me a woman must be smart as well as beautiful...hmm, but I have made allowances. So has my wife, she tells you, when it came to choosing a husband.

It seems, warm or freeze, wherever a breeze there will be a sneeze. Spring is the best here in Phoenix even if pollen. Winter and Fall close seconds. Summer...you have to be tough. That's when we hibernate. Thank you, Sunshine!
