Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Violette Spring

We welcome days of spring,
fledglings are on the wing;
I hear them sweetly sing
in skies of blue

Our farmer’s up at dawn
spring lambs are being born,
they’ll play from dusk till dawn
as babies do.

I’ve grown pretty flowers,
which brighten dark bowers.
I work out doors for hours,
do you do too?

Spring brings us wind and rain,
people moan, rains a pain.
My brolly broke again -
a damp hairdo!

I love the brighter days,
the warmth of the sun’s rays,
we must give thanks and praise
nature’s review.

Gershon Wolf March 18, 2018 at 9:43 PM This poem is so cute I could pinch it like a baby's cheek. It's oodles and oodles of cuteness and fun, Jan. Deliciously written. Love it. :) Gershon Jan Allison March 19, 2018 at 2:42 PM Thanks Gershon, I'm not sure if Mick wanted one theme that flowed or if he'll accept my ideas - will see when the contest gets judged but I enjoyed the challenge:-) hugs jan xx

Kelly Deschler March 17, 2018 at 7:48 PM Snow is still on the ground here, though slowly but surely the days are getting warmer ... This is a lovely poem to read with its rhymes and delightful images of spring ... Very, very well written, Jan!

Tom Cunningham March 16, 2018 at 6:47 AM You truly are a poet Jan, I dont think there is one that you cannot do. Good luck in the contest. Tom. p.s. never give up the limericks Jan Allison March 16, 2018 at 8:09 AM Oh Tom that is such a sweet thing to say. I have learned so much since I picked up my pen in Nov 2013, having been a poetry hater at school I now just adore writing it. I surprise folk with a more serious poem now and then but humour will always be my love and limericks get written in about 2 minutes I adore that form:-) hugs jan xx
