This April Day

This April Day

jolly daffodils
are beaming from their daybeds
finch at the feeders

the lazy cat sleeps
as spiders spin their silk webs
in the morning sun

the dew and the lace
reflect like brilliant diamonds
in tender green grass

sunshine and daisies
and the taste of love is sweet
on this April day

An Early Spring

An Early Spring

Pink
Cherry
Blossoms sprout.
Sun’s golden rays
Make daffodils blush
Beneath the turquoise skies.
Mockingbirds herald the dawn
Dew glimmers, ice water castles
Melt on budding forsythia limbs.
You are cordially invited to spring…
Like Godivas riding their Aethenoths,
Jonquils and tulips dance in their beds.
Symphony of chickadees swells,
Butterflies sip sweet nectar
From fuschia hibiscus.
Cool breezes ruffle
Fur of the fawn.
Early spring’s
Splendor
Reigns.
