Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Quintain (English)

Spring's Budding Romance

Lovely hued flowers adorn my sills, painting over winter's gloom
Budding blossoms, an abundant gift from earth's lavish garden 
Spring has arrived in splendor; she is fully clad in fragrant bloom   
An array of vivid petals wave to greet me through my open curtain 
A banquet for my eyes until the azure skies gallantly darken    

Fresh green scapes boldly beckon with promise of sunlit strolls
Winter's slumber has contained all of my audacious desires 
The thaw of spring awakens passions welling in my soul
Brilliant butterflies flutter, pristine snowflakes try to aspire
As spring's budding romance is displayed, winter has expired    

Melodies enchant the barren forests as leaves sprout in song
Trees sway to spring's beautiful music and burst with creation
Robin's nest caresses bright blue eggs on branches thick and strong  
Graceful wings dance on the golden horizon, birds sing in elation
Nature embraced by the sun and earth, spring's miraculous sensation
