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. n/a in Violette Contest Sponsored by Mick Talbot Submitted to Screwed XVIII Contest Sponsored by Rob Carmack 3/15/18

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

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

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!

Thanks so much Kelly, we had a 'blizzard' when we were driving tonight so we took a different route home and didn't see one snowflake!:-) hugs jan xx

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

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
