Craig Cornish Poet Quatern

Spring Tease

She tempts with velvet lips and smiles
the cradle of her fruits are borne;
cavorting down the orchard aisles,
now gentle on this frosty morn.

Within her teasing flirting flaunts
she tempts with velvet lips and smiles
and on this day shows what we want - 
her lacy petticoat beguiles.

With taunting wind and temper riled
much like her sister's winter chill,
she tempts with velvet lips and smiles,
reminding suiters at her will.

When then, as we're to turn away,
into the room adorned in style
to celebrate the last of May
she tempts with velvet lips and smiles

Eileen Manassian April 19, 2020 at 8:28 PM I enjoyed that repeating line... added beauty to the personification. I love spring, especially the kind you describe in your poem. Delightful! Craig Cornish April 19, 2020 at 9:41 PM Hey stranger! Thank you, I think it might be an Eileen type quatern too with that little bit of you know what mixed in? Good to see you out and about - stay safe Dear Eileen - Hugs

Sandra Adams April 5, 2020 at 7:33 PM spring tempts and allures... kind of glad it's only poking through in little bits and pieces so I am not lured outside...I try and only go out when I need something as my area is getting worse by the days... almost wish mother nature would through a big snow storm at us... easier to like them when you already are off work and staying inside... excellent write my friend... hugs and blessings Craig Cornish April 5, 2020 at 8:00 PM Kindred spirits once again Sandy...I wince at the thought of a perfect day--when it's...not perfect--I'm glad it's cold and rainy because that's how everyone feels--cold and rainy--but a big snow would at least be pretty--but then--selfish of we who would then toss more difficulties on those who are fighting all this crap---where are the answers!!?? I hope as you surely do that everything becomes hopeful at the same time - spring and hope growing fast and together---yup
