I love spring Violets,
sweet five petalled beauties;
the flower of my birth,
easy going like me;
just pop the seeds in earth !
I love spring Violets,
nectar for buzzing bees;
they like the sun or shade,
perfect in rock gardens;
I am sad when they fade !
I love spring Violets,
they grow in the wild too;
precious spots of color,
and they sure like to spread;
can be called a crawler !
I love spring Violets,
adorable to view;
nice for a small bouquet,
for the cemetery;
on a headstone to lay !

Restless is the evening's song,
so eager to release the throng
of scented jasmine's sweet sachet.
A first star takes my breath away...
while clouds pile high like pink parfait
with fringes gold in soft bouquets.
Two lonely spruces thrash and sway
in orchestrated breeze ballet,
while dappled in the shadow's play,
a weary earth turns shades of gray
My silhouette is growing long.....
as moonlight begs to come along.
