it's mirror reflection
captures surrounding aged trees
and lone fisherman
The Corona Blues (Revisited)
So sick of being stuck at home
Just want to get out and roam
Can go nowhere without a mask
Can’t do my weekly tasks
I got the lowdown Corona blues
Get high all-day
It’s the only way
I can deal with the stress
Of all this mess
I got the lowdown Corona Blues....
Some say it's overblown
That really makes me moan
That statement is so untrue
Follow the rules on what to do
I got the lowdown Corona Blue.
Seems now people don’t listen
As this virus mutates and glistens
Some ignore the fact it exists
Do the wrong thing and take risks
Yeah, I got the lowdown Corona (Covid-19) Blues
Just a little humor to lighten people's moods a little

Springtime
Hue on display
Moment of refreshing
There's an uptake of nutrients
Trees spread out their healthy and joyful boughs
Season of rejuvenation
Harbinger of newness
Rebirth of hope

Joyful
The time of spring
The season comes widely
Beautifies all through the nature
Seen-unseen everything is beautiful
Peaceful love acutely lives fair
Glowing buds, green lively
Dressed everything
Joyful

Dripping, pouring
Glittering, shimmering
Fascinating, captivating
As it was struck by golden ray of light
Interesting, mesmerizing
Sending rays of hope, for

Spring's fragrant hope,
Cherry blossoms in pink,
Daffodils adorned in gold gowns
Magnolia trees clothed in starry blooms,
Butterflies dancing on the breeze
Tasting spring's sweet nectar

Calm Spring
Winters dust fades
We’ll step out on that date
With the symphony of bird song
Brushing my cold bones with orange blossoms
Above fanfares of daffodils
Blowing ripples of warmth
No more thermals
Calm Spring

Hope for
Winter to soon
Recede to the arctic
In warm zephyr songbirds fly back
Colors burst on blooming beauty of buds
Charmed butterflies float in fragrance
Bare boughs be green again
Spring’s return they
Hope for.

this spring,
we'll walk among
the cherry blossom trees,
pray that hope continues to float,
enjoy nature, rain, bird songs; marvel at...
butterflies fluttering about,
flowers in full bloom, life...
coming alive

COME OH SPRING
Oh Spring
Please, please come soon
To loosen winter’s grip
And bring us hope of life anew.
With crocuses and yellow daffodils
And multi-coloured tulips too.
New leaves upon the trees.
Bees awaking

Legacy born
In depths of jagged cold
Streams flow ‘neath quilts of frozen capes
Warm winds whisper in amber shadowed dusk
Wildflowers dream dreams of
Floral tapestry fields
As spring births from

Longing,
for mossy banks
to erupt - spring flowers.
Daffodils, tulips, and snowdrops
like magic from the earth will reappear.
Every year, as the seasons turn,
when winter snow recedes,
the world watches
longing.

Arrives,
spring in green hues.
Buds and blooms opening.
The crocuses are in full bloom,
violet and pink amid slender leaves.
Bees rally round and songbirds chirp,
flying from tree to tree.
Season of cheer,
Arrives!

Poke your head up
Tell us all spring is soon
The cold roared in like a lion
So farewell winter like a little lamb
Surface for warm air and flowers
Only a few more weeks

plants are sure signs
That Springtime has arrived
Birds are nesting, bees are buzzing
Life, reborn is abounding upon Earth
Hope emerges like butterflies
in the greening of Spring
Leaves begin their
