Violette Poem

Spring begins to grumble
 That winter won't crumble
 Seasons seem in jumble
 Snow still falling

 The breeze will soon escort
 And spring it will exhort
 As blooms she will assort
 No more bawling

 Then lilacs will assent
 As  fragrance they  present
 And nature will consent
 No more stalling

  And birds will sing until
 Their sweet songs they instill
 As spring's joy they fulfill
 Blossoms  sprawling

 Bright colors she'll bestow
 In sunshine all aglow
 And reach a new plateau
 Summer's  calling
         ~~

Very lovely, Joseph—gentle and vivid your reflections that set my ear and brain ringing with the rhyme that echoes on and on.

very nice, JOseph. I particularly loved the last two stanzas, the blossoms sprawling and summer calling!! This is a challenge I want to try soon!
