Jewelled flowers add such bling on zephyr breeze they gently swing Pretty pastel coloured bluebells ring hark, you’ll hear them herald spring! A flock of blackbirds sweetly sing as they catch flies upon the wing Tiny lambs gambol with zest and zing lush green grass, their soft plaything HM in a contest in 2018 I was disappointed not to place higher than an HM , I worked hard with the imagery and the rhyme at the end of each line Submitted to Honourable mentions Contest Sponsored by Richard Lamoureux 3/10/18
