Spring Footle Poems

Flowers
Showers

Trees green
Fresh sheen

Sky blue
Soft dew

Chill gone
Hues on

Earth dressed
Feel blessed

Inter
Winter

Spring is
True bliss

this year
mid-fall

feels like
mid-spring

in the
Deep South

highs in
eighties

breaking 
records

shorts and
flipflops

still worn
daily

forecast
warning—

cold front’s
coming

that’s no
surprise

time to
find those

gloves and
jackets

toss those
wilting

mums and
pansies

mourn not
loss of 

mid-fall
mildness

winter’s
coming

with her
wealth of

unique
beauties

winter's
ending;

spring is
pending.

cool and
pleasing

but so
fleeting.

sun beams
greeting

cool breeze
soothing

spring hue
winning

flowers
springing

sweet birds
singing.

all those
waiting,

for spring's
coming,

will be
humming.

Footles, as one, regarding Spring by Sandro Botticelli



Sandro
Does Know:

Venus-
Genus

Darkened,
Starkened

West wind
Chlore sinned;

Shrewd glance,
Now dance

Bough, her
Flower;

Three Grace
At base

Bypass
Time sass,

Laurels
Morals

Orange grove,
Bee soave;

Broody-
Nudie

Looks left,
Bereft,

Cupid,
Stupid

As love
Above

High arts,
Babe farts

Passion's
Rations.

Mud season 
yucky mucky

Hummingbird in flight
zig jig

A flock of robins
swinging singing

New grass
sprout shout

Flying butterfly
flutter putter

Chipmunks at feeders
seed greed

Lilac trees
blooms perfumes

A bright goldfinch
yellow fellow

Tree branches
twig sprig...

sun’s a
no-show

raging
winds blow

low temps
ice, snow

life’s in
slow-mo

outlook’s 
dreary

many
weary

even
teary

*****

think of
spring time

pen a 
sweet rhyme

praising
flowers

sun filled
hours

wee birds
singing

great joy
bringing

Forecast
raise mast

Air mass
eat grass

Storm front

Blue skies
time flies 

Dark clouds

Wet spell

Sunshine

Strong gust 
disgust 

Gale force 
morose

Got ring
In Spring

I wed
My Ted

We kiss
Much bliss

Small bump
Huge Lump

Child bloomed
In womb

Kid grew
Loved blue

Good Years
Had tears

Best life
Old wife


I weep
He’s  sleep

Goodbye 
Swell Guy

Cuckoo 
Gives clue

Fresh zing
It’s spring

Blue skies
Hopes rise

Blackbird
Is heard

Deep roots
New shoots

Sweet scent
Advent

Christ rose
Faith grows

Lambs prance
Bees dance

Each year
Such cheer

Today
Hurrah!

Grass green
is seen.

Warm breeze
wafts trees.

Each tree
pretty.

Plum’s hue
I view.

My Pear*
is fair -

Sweet sight
in white.

Each thing
blooming.

God’s plan
for man.

Spring’s here.
It’s clear.

*Note: Pear, as well as Plum, refer to...
