~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ feathered friends chirp inside my head, their glittering wing tips a conductor's wand coloring my world in the trill of birdsong, drifting springtime pollen, soft as a lover's kiss, dipping, swirling, soaring over vibrant fields of wildflowers where frissons of pleasure play on every petal dancing in the floral breeze, imbibing my soul in rainbowed confetti, the red of poppies amid the greens, the white of daisies and golden drops of dandelions, as feet still and heart open, I bathe in their perfume as they paint the palette.

thanks for your positive remarks, Victor. This poem was a joy to write after having spent an afternoon at the local garden/landscape store...filled with a colorful palette and birds galore. Wishing you a splendid spring day, Sara

appreciate you, dear Ink. Glad you found my poem captivating and worthy of a fave! Humbly grateful! Yes, spring is in full force here...lovely most days. April is, however, our rainy month. We'll need all that rain come July and August. Right now, the rain has made everything lush and alive! Have a splendid day, hugs Sara
