Image result for oak trees springtime

Bright trees in May time , of evergreen lace, Cuddle larks perched above on twigs , winging Draped with hued flora all over the place Each bud, each petal , the anthem of spring. Feathery the elm robed in velvet bloom, Gone is Old Jack Winter’s glacial soak Heralding new cycle’s minty perfume Inside our garden, now verdant the oak. Joyful tots with kites rush out to the lane, Kicking their heels for giggly, cheery flight Laughter aglow through sweet birdsong’s refrain Mingled with whirling of bees…such pure delight! Nothing but sheen lifts the maple , to rise Offering a burst of charm wrapped in bliss; Playful the folks that view this morn’s surprise Quick yet gentle are dreams from springtime’s kiss! ....................... 9.12.2016 Rhyme: abab Alphabet Soup Contest Sponsor: Kim Merrryman

Nette, my kindle keeps changing people's names if it isn't familiar with them. I didn't catch this in time. Sorry.
