Spring Mermaids

SPRING       MERMAIDS

The empty sky over the forest  is  silent,
But soon  the call of distant spring will arrive
And the myriad bluebells   who went
Away last summer  will once again thrive,

Spreading  to every shady cranny and nook
Over the floor of our  leafy sea.
These  tiny blue mermaids by the brook,
Heads  bent  shyly in softly whispered glee,

Will speak to me again, as we take our ease: 
I’ll breathe in their earthy growth
From the lush sward around the trees
And  spring’s warmth will fill us both.

Sydney, check out Susan's contest on "lost jewels" surely you have an oldie that is REALLY good and few people have seen it. I found a few that had 8 comments and I used one of those for an entry. Luv, Andrea
