Springtime

Springtime

Cascades of dainty Narcissus smile with golden faces
Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces.

YOUR BEST RHYMING COUPLET, #4 Poetry Contest~7th place out of 10 winners~
Sponsored by: L MILTON HANKINS |

Taken From:

The Wealth of Spring

Assorted spring flowers, naked, rise in morning sun
Breaking through a thin blanket of snow, earth spun.
Cascades of dainty Narcissus smile with golden faces
Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces.
Enjoy the heavenly floral scent that gardens bring.
Fledglings high in tree nests sense that it is spring. 
Growing fast they will soon gain courage to take flight,
Hovering low over canopies, it is their birthright!
Irises spring forth in hopes to match the sky
Just as daffodils claim the colors of sun’s eye.
Keep the cherry blossom's imprint in your mind
Leaving memories of pink poetic petals that you find.
Moments spent in this season’s refreshing rain 
Nurture and inspire a poet’s muse again.
Only spring can coax the lovely lilac’s bloom
Perfuming breezes, singing springtime’s tune.
Quaint bird houses dot the country lanes 
Rewarding visions viewed through window panes.
Spring reclaims our joyful mood as winter ends,
Treating us to vivid colors this season sends.
Uncloaking animals in snowy hibernation,
Verdant becomes the blessings of vegetation.
Wealth is seen in all the colors of sweet spring
Xylogenous creatures in forests are welcoming.
Yellowthroat warblers singing in trees greet melting snow.
Zephyr’s enchant, as they scatter blossoms down below.

Lisa Ricci February 15, 2022 at 2:59 AM Connie Connie - Hi. I was reading your poetic and elegant entry and was thinking the rhyming was wonderful and then reaching the end lines realizing this was ABC to which the execution is marvelous and done with skill. The reader is engrossed within your words not realizing the format to which is hard to execute and make flow. Take your bow Connie. Have a beautiful day and may there always be flowers to see and savor the fragrance. Love and Blessings to you and to springtime. Connie Marcum Wong February 18, 2022 at 10:52 AM What a lovely comment Lisa. It is much appreciated. That form does take time and effort. I had a hard time choosing which couplet to use from this poem. The lines in most of my poems are much shorter. Thank you very much. Springtime is almost here for those in the snow. I am enjoying my roses blooming here in Hawaii. Blessings xxoo

Janice Canerdy February 14, 2022 at 7:31 PM Delightful couplet, Connie! Janice
