The Song of Spring

Nature's song is best in spring
Beneath a Bradford pear
   Grass wears it's earliest green
So begins my love affair

   A gentle breeze caresses my skin
Honeysuckles delight my tongue
   Days inside are growing thin
Winter's last song was sung

   The clouds create paintings in the sky
As the sun plays peekaboo
   A ladybug tickles the top of my thigh
Unique flowers begin to accrue

   Wheat grass dances to the beat of the wind
Butterflies escape their cocoons
   Fresh spring water, warm enough to swim
These are my favorite tunes

Love your descriptions! Although you happily wrote this in rhyme, it reminded me of a list poem if re-worked a little. Bring on the sun, ladybug, and butterflies!

Beautiful image you paint of Spring and its marvels. The birds, flowers and trees are my favorite in Spring! Each is busy while the Sun shines... A7 and great poem...
