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 ~~ 3-23-18 Violette Poetry Contest Sponsor- Mick Talbot

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!
