Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Spring Time

It’s the season when the countryside is renewed 
When a kaleidoscope of colours can be viewed 

Wearing emerald skirts, here comes stunning spring 
Hark! You can almost hear the lovely bluebells ring! 

Pretty pink blossom dresses the Sakura trees
It will fall like confetti on the zephyr breeze

Daffodils raise their sleepy heads in a blaze of gold
Colourful crocuses and irises are a joy to behold

Lambs gambol around in the lush green fields 
I adore the stunning beauty that spring time yields

Old Buck April 13, 2017 at 5:56 PM Jan: Anytime I read a "Jan Allison" I expect something "special". This didn't let me down. You put a special 'spring' in my spring. Thanks for sharing it with all of us on the soup. Keep them coming.oldbuck Jan Allison April 13, 2017 at 6:01 PM Aww Old Buck you are too kind to me:-) I think one day I will wake up and all this writing will have been an amazing dream. From being a poetry hater at school I can't believe how I have taken to writing it as a result of my husband's cancer surgery and how my life has changed for the better forever:-) hugs jan xx

Doug Vinson March 29, 2017 at 2:02 PM Right on, Jan. : ) +1 for lambs. Daffodils are great - one type of flower that survives and increases, rather than dying out, as most do.... Jan Allison March 29, 2017 at 2:10 PM Thanks Doug:-) I thought you would pick up on the lambs line :-) I am still waiting for the local farmer to get the sheep back in the field I guess they are protecting the lambs as they have already had lambs killed recently by straying dogs:-( Daffodils are beautiful but they do not last long before the flowers fade and die but they do increase their stock which is a bonus:-( hugs jan xx
