Spring Ditty
I’m makin’ wishes on the stars
Dancin’ 'neath the moon
Howlin’ like a lonely wolf
And croonin’ out a tune
It’s what I do in springtime
When all the earth renews
I feel myself just bustin’ loose
As I’m kickin’ off my shoes
The sun is playing peek-a-boo
Midst clouds all puffy white
I’ll be swayin’ in the hammock
As the stars come out tonight
The buds are on the roses
And the tulips in full bloom
Johnny-Jump-Up’s smiling face
Chased away the winter’s gloom
The feral cats are screamin’
They're fightin’ for their mate
While the lady birds are nestin’
On eggs of unknown fate
Puttin’ cherry blossoms in my hair
Claimin’ this day as mine
For the glory of the spring is here
And I’m feelin’ oh, so fine

I enjoyed this...it was beautiful in my area today. I was
finally able to open all the windows in the house and
let the fresh air and light in! Spring is so clearing and
uplifting!
thanks,

This poem is really precious and a wonderful little tribute to a delightful season, indeed. It's the last season in Texas prior to the summer heat!
Thanks for sharing this.

Splendid poetry!

Move over in that hammock of yours: I'm comin' over. What a delightful, springy write that puts a bounce in my step! Wish our springs were like this in "Tornado Alley." :)
