snuggling the flowerbeds

Springtime paints such a delightful scene
Cute lambs gambol in the fields so green

Warm winds whisper through the leafy trees
Blossoms float down on a swirling breeze

Daffodils daintily dance and shake their heads
Bringing bright yellow sunshine to our flowerbeds

Winter's arrival signals my departure
  hidden by soft snow in the ground  
When Spring returns, I emerge from hard mud
  on sidewalks and in plush flowerbeds

I'd love to warm myself, to lay in the sun
  but I'm on the look-out twenty-four/seven
for a worm's sworn enemy, the dreaded bird
  Discretion, please: Shh! ~ Don't breathe a word...

LAZY DAISY DAYS

Languishing lying listlessly in the warm lamp of the sun

Landscapes lingering language of lavishness again won



Daisy dances decorate abundant demur flowerbeds

Demonstrative distractive drapes-petite white heads



Daylight daydreams decorate in delightful colored array

Dispersing discord drama as I lazily capture a daisy day...

Summer sallies in blazing hot
Gentle in approach it is not
Chilly Spring winds soon forgot

Scorching sun off cooling soil steams
Warming all the rivers and streams
Melting core of soft snow dreams

Songbirds practice their choral sounds
Joined by grasshoppers’ leaps and bounds
Insects build their own playgrounds

Chirruping crickets call their mates
Flowerbeds fill with garden snakes
Sweltry nights no heat abates...

Blue cornflowers and daisies grew
grew in fields under skies of blue.
May was a time for fun and play
play is synonymous with May.
Reds and whites adorn flowerbeds
flowerbeds filled with whites and reds.

Tweeting birds are oft competing 
competing whilst sweetly tweeting.
Green grasses complement each scene
scene inked by abundance of green.
Flowers cling to trestle towers
towers laced with climbing flowers.
