Fortune.
A given gem of jewelled morning
is calling to me.
Outside is waiting a diamond-day.
Jadest of green reveals affluence
unfolding between
shimmers of crystal dewing each
leafy twig as rise
bluey bells of expensive sapphire.
Amazing that emerald opulence
as snowdrop perfection
adorns shy faces in aquamarine.
Tiny white eyes of cachéd daisies
vie with gold celandine
embroidering topaz over dun earth.
What better resources of treasure
make purses richer
than Spring fortune well searched.
Nature's kind urges not to despise
even the smallest
beginnings will find greatest wealth.

Nature is sure beginning to expose its treasures - it's quite stunning looking out and I'll soon be out there. Mind you I'm helping at a charity rummage sale all day today so I'll not see so much of it. Such an elegant write Fay.
those same treasures will be there tomorrow to gladden you talented heart dear Mike - hope your day at the sale went well and many thanks for dropping by.
A fine write Fay.
So pleased you enjoyed it Orchi.
My Dear Fay,
No signs of spring where I am!
While reading your poem though, Iāve envisioned...
āthe flash of emerald as snowdrop perfection adorns its shy petalsā...
Your excellent choice of words have painted the perfect picture in my mind...the picture of new beginnings...the picture of Springtime!
Thank you for sharing !
~Laura~
Ah - your Spring will bring just the same treasures dear Laura -- and meanwhile my grateful thanks for your visit and beautiful comment.
A beautiful picture you have created. Like a delightful picnic I canāt wait to indulge in!
How apt to dub it a picnic and indulge in time spent outdoors - thanks a load Sylvia and hope soon your turn will arrive when Spring delights with plenty of pleasures.
This is a truly wonderful piece about a passion that shines so brightly in your mind. Well done, Fay.
You're descriptions of nature are a wonder.
Your assessment of my lifelong passion with nature's rich gifts is spot on Nick - so pleased you enjoyed the read and really appreciate your visit.
No king nor queen could possibly bestow upon each of us here.. who watch and look and see and find the richness and riches of spring.. she kindly wove into this brightly hued and scented poetic tapestry... thank you Fay x
Your generous and eloquent comment humbles me greatly Nev. - I hoped my simple write on where to find real riches would reach readers hearts today - and it seems with your warm words that it did - - - many thanks for your valued support mon ami - Fay x
you dont know what a pleasure it was, do ya .. or is should I say x

The treasures if Spring are showing all around and in your words Fay.
So good of you to comment and compliment this tribute to riches of Spring my friend.
Good Evening FAY : Thanks for an elegant "Ode to Spring" and its pallet of intriguing shades ! Jade : Blue : Saphire : Emerald : White (snowdraop & daisey) : Gold : Topaz & Dun ! Perhaps Autumn does not have the Monopoly ? Your poem invites us all to view Spring with "Eyes wide Open" !
Blessings & The JOY of SPRING
