Springtime

She wraps herself now
in dress of fine greenery
welcoming the spring.

She paints the flowers
in magical  colored hues
floral paradise.

The new buds of spring
bring forth the pussy willow
signs of early spring.

Crocus on the hills
stretch to seek the morning sun
first flower of spring.





For Carols contest.
