A Spring Song



This morning's sunbeams
after yesterday's snowfall


sets spring songs a-ringing!
(in bird and bard!)



The sparkle of frost-brickle
The finch in golden plume
*(or the finch-tree in full plume)
The twinkle in Father Time’s grin
As earth trembles with bloom

Good morning’s hearty handshake
The sky, a big blue bowl
Tipped upside down to grandly crown
The laughter of the soul

The giggle of the garden
The robin’s tiralee
Green sheen unfurled across a world
Wild with expectancy

Where we attuned to anthems
Not written in a book
Join in the hymn of throbbing limb
And chuckle of the brook

How long we wished and waited
For daffodils to glow
For violet stars to deck the bars
Long kissed with flecks of snow

Come, let’s dance on the tarmac
No longer brown and gray
And celebrate the welkin gate
Where winter lost its way (hopefully)😑

The sparkle of frost-brickle...



*The finch-tree in full plume/bloom



Good morning’s hearty handshake
The sky, a big blue bowl
Tipped upside down to grandly crown
The laughter of the soul...


How long we wished and waited
For daffodils to glow
...in the words from my two-yr.-old little gal in my childcare-
'I saw dappydils!'

For violet stars to deck the bars
Long kissed with flecks of snow...


The giggle of the garden
The robin’s tiralee
Green sheen unfurled across a world
Wild with expectancy...
