In many hues, dancing on the hill
Swaying with  the gentle breeze
In the spring I'm easy to please

On
lucent
gossamer
wings fulgent in
my precious garden
nymphs spin golden trumpets
welcoming spring. Gentian bells
sway blithely beneath  jubilant
incantations arousing cupids
ardent desire blossoming cherry pink....
