Notes About The Poem

Stunning Spring

Trees wear a gown of bright emerald green
Where birds are nesting in branches up high
Parents shield fledglings so they can’t be seen
Until they can spread their new wings and fly

Daffodils dance in the warm zephyr breeze
Bees buzz seeking out these pretty flowers
Yellow pollen doesn't make the bees sneeze!
They will pollinate blooms for many hours

Young lambs gamboling around in the fields
Birds fly high in the sky of azure blue
I love the spring season where nature yields
Our earth’s a stunning place for me and you

Spring brings rejuvenation to our land
The vibrant countryside looks very grand

Sonnets, the poetry of love. This surely demonstrates the love which I share for spring. Let other poets witter on about the beautiful colours of autumn but for me there is joy in springtime's blooms.

I love the vibrancy and regeneration of spring but I adore autumn and its wonderful colours - winter is my least favourite season - dull grey cold days:-( hugs Jan xx
