Spring's Costume

Daffodils and Forsythia bloom
'Tis nigh unto spring's costume
When roses abloom
Birds consume
Feed

Ah! Releasing spring's perfume
When roses abloom
Birds consume
Seed

Those seed of Hyacinth ancient heirloom
Scattering sunshine not gloom
When roses abloom 
Birds consume
Weed

This form is called a Triquint
It is described on the internet
I hope that I did it correctly

I'm not one for structured prose. I just write where ever it goes. But I'm impressed with all of those. Who write so beautifully of a rose.

Beautiful, Sara! Each verse gives us a different look at spring's highlights. I also love the form and how it allowed you to alter the last line just a tad. Excellent entry for Carol's contest! Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn

This is a fantastic write my friend! It seems you have become a master of the Triquint as you have written several of them very well! This one is written extremely well! This is a definite tribute to Spring! I could feel the season flowing through me throughout your poem! Fabulous Work!!
