Springtime Sings

Springtime sings

Springtime sings of wondrous things 
Of warmer days and robin’s wings
Of daffodils and playground swings
Of sunny morning wanderings
Of fishing poles and wedding rings
Of family picnic gatherings
Of arbors blooming jasmine clings
Of sweetly scented offerings
Of firefly meanderings
Of stardust moonlit ponderings
Of all the happiness it brings
Yes springtime sings of wondrous things

Happy first day of spring 3/20/17
For the Spring Time poetry contest

Chris, I love all your wondrous spring things, so beautifully penned, I am yearning for Spring as I look out my window at mountains of snow, but there are beginning to be patches of green I noticed today on my walk many, many happy little sparrows everywhere ~

We very seldom get any snow at all where I am, but I can imagine how exciting it must be to see those patches of green showing through and the birds frolicking. Thank you so much my friend.

Beautiful mono rhyme Chris, this one sings to the heart. Springs here but there's still snow on the ground here, so I guess we'll keep waiting. This reads like a winner!

Sorry about that my friend, nice and warm and sunny here. But, I'm sure that snow will be gone before too long
