I watched the wind frolic in the trees
in a dance with the newborn leaves
It 's a wondrous blow that creates
the flow which gave pleasure in full
measure, for nature comes alive in
spring bringing vitality to everything
The beautiful buds straining to bloom
will be taken from the garden to
decorate each room, with gorgeous
golden daffodils, pink roses, white
daisies, purple mums, orange pom poms,
red carnations, and other variations
As we gaily wend our way through each
colorful spring day, our senses aglow with
passion for the latest fashion, and though
the weather may bring us heartache and
despair, there are wonders beyond compare
taking our imagination in rhyme and reason
into exciting varities for the summer season
True vernal energy in your lines here, Eileen, bursting with colour, texture and life. I like how you interleave our human actions and responses with the over-riding dominance of nature: we can imitate and enshrine her but we certainly can't tame her - especially not while she's in this phase of new extravagance and burgeoning growth! A breath of fresh air, thank you. Kate xx

Yours are fine thoughts and most encouraging, Eileen. Now if only I could get into the "spirit" of what they mean. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and best wishes,

Eileen, I had never considered what the true allure of Springtime is until I read your line, "our senses aglow with passion for the latest fashion" -- how poetically magnificent is that concept -- peace and love -- Jon Michael
Wonderful write; if it were not for the severe weather threat, I'd love spring a whole lot more! LOL Well done, Eileen, and that painting, even though you didn't do it, is glorious! BRAVA!
Sorry, I haven't green fingers, so, I don't know what are you talking in your garden of, after the roses you lost me, but I see all those little leaves that are starting to cover the nudity of trees.
As usual you teach us old folks to appreciate Spring,where we thrwo away the blasted liniment for those squeak bones !
Eileen,
I can't help but once again admire your energy and positive attitude, the pleasure you take from colour and new life and transmit eloquently to us.
