Burns Stanza Green

Green is the rich color of spring
New leaf on trees and the birds sing,
brought by the soft winds they wing
their way to us.
The beauty of new flowers bring
a wondrous plus.

Burns Stanza Red

The traffic signal just turned red.
Slow down and stop my wife now said.
I don’t want to end this day dead.
Not to worry!
There’s three more I can see ahead.
We can’t hurry.


Burns Stanza Green

Green is the rich color of spring
New leaf on trees and the birds sing,
brought by the soft winds they wing
their way to us.
The beauty of new flowers bring
a wondrous plus.

Burns Stanza White

Laundry sheets on line washed so white
They hang on line so clean and bright
No other wash in town’s more right
Mother works hard
Bed sheets hang down from shoulder height
in our back yard
