The sun is shining brightly
It is a glorious day today
I am feeling 'almost' sprightly
My heart is singing Hooray!
Woohoo!
A gentleman opened his mail,
When out jumped a sprightly young snail.
"I'm glad to be out,"
He said with a shout,
"I thought I was in a white whale."
Little robin
Outside my window
Sprightly hopping
Along the hedgerow
Red breast in the snow.
W.A. CHOLT. Copyright Fergal O Reilly. 2017.
Daring to open the windows.
Letting in a first sprightly spring breeze.
The beauty of curtains billowing.

the door has been closed
you stand outside in the rain
soaked in your despair
open your bright umbrella
storms pass; walk sprightly onward
In lull of twilight
sunburned skies tell
of the Sun’s demise behind
unified realm of dark distant trees
and the sprightly sea breeze dies
as night slays the day
The wee people, clever and sprightly,
play tricks on the mortal folk, nightly.
As there's mischief in me,
could it possibly be
I've got leprechaun charm in me, slightly?
There’s a ripe, young sun
Swinging the gardens today.
There is a sprightly, young sun
Touring the faces of revelry.
There’s a sheepish, young moon
Carrying the smirk of a virgin
Awaiting her Paul Revere.
I had been running after a sky,
and by a very fast fly,
I stood above it sprightly,
shockingly
when it was falling into the earth.
Now I am in the high sphere
but my sky is
degradingly down to the world.
Church bells rang in stark fanfare
Ghosts gleamed sprightly rescue flare
Bones crumbled the dance on immortal grave
Scavengers of death forgot to behave
Until souls gave them a scare

Skating so serene like a splendid, sliding swan
upon an ice pond, softly as a spry sunrise at dawn,
Shawn saw some splendid surprise, seemed soft as sleek chiffon,
a sight so shrouded, light as snow white, a striking, sprightly fawn.

Hope Poked
Snowdrops of hope have poked through the frost
A sign which tells us all is not lost
White, green and sprightly
Spreading cheer brightly
With bells of glory Earth is embossed.

Little candle burning brightly
Tiny sparrow, O, so sprightly,
A cheery hello from a friend
A helping hand so quick to lend,
Little pleasures can make my day
Turning gloomy thoughts to gay,
And lift my spirits to the cloud
Making me feel, O, so proud.

“The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.”
— quote by Carly Simon
----------------------------------------------------
I see pair of red-whiskered bulbuls
with wrong-end rouge, spikes, eloquent note
gurgling - spinning love, singing the loop,
billing, bowing, chattering. I swoon
On a marvelous day like today
While the sun is shining brightly,
Everything seems to go my way
On a marvelous day like today.
The perfect time to while away
An afternoon walk, so sprightly,
On a marvelous day like today
While the sun is shining brightly.

Really I am glad to see one of the bright stars shines again
Out of the sorrow, obsession, suspect, and that leaden pain
What inside is in fact inside that lovely heart and clear mind
Should not look at the dark cloudy sight and get going to find
More internal sense of life and its sprightly meaning and stillness.
The clench of the hand
when greed holds a man:
tightly.
Once not in command,
aligned with God’s plan:
lightly.
The battle of will
to hold tighter still:
nightly.
The feel of the thrill
just learning to chill:
sprightly.

Wisdom à la Sophie

Behind calm mind can come a fear,
So conquer it, and sprightly.
A fear must not despoil your year.
Quick, quell it. Live your life quite lightly.

Lips, soft as a shadow.
Devouring my very soul.
I didn't care. I couldn't care.
I'd gave him my heart.
Eyes, blue as a spirit.
Observing my imperfections.
I could change. I did change.
I'd gave him my heart.
Fingers, sprightly as a fairy.
Surrounding my body.
I wouldn't move. I couldn't move.
I'd gave him my heart.
Morning solitude is best
The once dark margin of the sea
is all at once, a sparkling pleasure
To hear the sprightly magpies
as they wander over dewy grass
warbling a wealth of sound
the like of heaven
Air so fresh it equals joy
and the jewel in the crown;
on the vacant lot beneath the sign -
a lily has bloomed.
Jennifer’s uninhibited exuberance filled the room
she had excited zestfulness that swept away all gloom
her sprightly effervescent personality was on fire
the bosses quickly decided she would be their new hire
resumes are a start but, in this case, they threw it away
her ardent passion for their company had them cheering all day
Far
yonder
Never near
From a distance
taunting and beckoning like a temptress
teasing like a whimsical, sprightly wind
Just out of reach
like a dream
now here
now
gone.
Is it
Illusion
or wistful whim?
Why does she leave me in a barren state?

~Triple Tetractys contest by Eva Roper
I watched them across the water prance,
Back and forth in sprightly dance.
Liveried in emerald green, others had a sapphire sheen.
It was natural choreography, by tiny acrobats
As they hovered through the reed beds, hunting bugs and gnats.
A mastery of flight, a ballet in the sky,
How mesmerising to sit and watch, dancing dragonflies.
Waiting
For the green show
When flowers blossom bright
And young fauna are born to play
Life glows afresh with zingy zest, sun shines
Azure sky is clear, crisp breeze blows
Blooms sway in a spring dance
Sprightly spirit
Waiting
