Spring Scintilla

fragrance of fresh air
wakes the flora and fauna
fills nectar of life ...
aching earth in pangs of birth
blooms into colorful mirth

hibernation ends
snakes seem serenely slither
seeking sole soul mates ...
mongooses move merrily
ostentation of peacocks

sky tourmaline blue
sun in colorful costumes
immaculate clouds ...
processions of flies and bees
albatrosses around seas

blazing butterflies
midst mild meek modest flowers
dainty dragonflies …
beetles, bumblebees, bag-worms
bare benevolent bizarre
