Spring!
(after Lawrence Dunbar’s, song)
Shimmering rays of gaiety abounds
a chorus lark, of children’s delight
awe-inspiring
vibrant eager spirits, giddy
with vitamin D
aside, chirping - furtive
calling cards
by Nature serenading - majestic wings
decibels of solace - evergreen bright
toothy smiles - stretched, bravely wide
feathers of all colours
kiss
Winter weary, eyes
as rainless rainbow hues, entice
our aesthetic appreciation
for budding flora’s, daintily beauty
while lush verdure carpets
tease
our carefree tapdancing toes
barefoot, beneath our umbrella trees
and kaleidoscopic aromas
bombard with their subtle, mesmeric
sublime of vitality’s, earthly essence
to remind us, we’re treating ourselves
to an iced – something
during our morning, commutes
to match that skkippitty - skip
of our pulses, fluttering romance
with that renewed sweetness
in each delectably sipped breath, of life.
While beloved Poesy, provides
those harmonious syllables
to promote celebration, of that Art
in living
as Lawrence Dunbar, proclaimed best
Spring! Spring! Spring!
Hail to thee
our most giving, cherished
emblem of Hope
as once more, delightedly
we Welcome ye
Spring!

Wow! I can see this, feel this, hear this, smell this. Wonderful lines. Enjoy the spring.
you too, dear poet
hope you have a memorable Spring/Summer
thank you for this wonderful review
poetry can indeed, be 4D..
lol
Beautiful imagery with perfect lines
The colours and emotions blended
Could see the scenes of spring on display
As if the seasons were playing in front of eyes
As always a pleasure to go through a master piece
I think if perfect existed, our lives would be so short
still, humbly
I will accept your overtly generous praise
and thank you! for choosing to gift me
with such encouraging words, dear Poet
Springtime - natures effervescent refreshing of the world and boy does it get to our senses waking us up with vibrant colours, even green becomes G R E E N !!! the real verdant life of growth all around as blossoms decorate with their scented tease and again that buzzing of winged insects fills the air.
Your words have gotten me all worked up and keen to go sample some of it.
G R E E N !!!
Amen!
Nice LB,take care
thank you!
stay safe dear poet
I'm often left without words after absorbing all of yours and that my friend is truly the most delightful feeling!
Nothingness can be bliss and I kid you not and bird tweets away as I write this.
Thank you for sharing my your spring be as pleasant as the soul you are!
ahhh, I just made a mental note
to start chasing through your archives again, brother
as always, just glad to see your name
on my screen and your reassuring words
letting me know, you and your loved ones
are doing ok..
thank you for the high praise, kind Poet!
I cherish our interactions
like I do the serenade song of a Thrush bird
or that wondrous, perfect Aurora
of a Spring day..
Yes! What an enchanting and AROMATIC welcoming of Spring. I felt every word that your carefully placed into this marvel. Very well done!
bless your kindness
what wonderful words of encouragement
thank you, dear Poet
just glad you enjoyed the read
I read your poem listening to the Vivaldi video and the words you penned about spring, sprung up to exult this marvelous time of rebirth. Excellent write!
forgive me, I'm a sucker for the obvious
Vivaldi's 'Spring'
is a must accompaniment for this attempted
celebration of all-things, delightful
we so briefly experience in these few months
we title, Spring..
thank you, for this supportive comment dear poet
glad you enjoyed the music
as well as my humble scribble
this whole poetic work is otherworldly and stands out as the work of art it most surely is ......................... Neville
awesome! Hyung
cos 'otherworldly' is how Spring
makes me feel.. 🍻
despite all the chaos in the world
give me a bright, cool
morning to start my day with
and I'll promise to invest
all the hope left within me
in all my endeavours and chores
insuring, come what may
I'll greet that moon, reprieve
with little regret!
have a great Spring, my friend
even while we stare life's, failings
head-on, without blinking
we must find a way, to enjoy
our gifted, small blessings...
Spring in its most alluring and harmonious representation. It is undoubtedly gorgeous as always. Splendid!
Nature is indeed, splendid!
I love your comment's infectiously enthusiastic tone
thank you, dear poet
A beautifully expressed poem .. I think this is one of my favourites from you .. so engaging and some very lovely lines ! 🙂
Awesome!
and thank you, it means a lot
just glad you enjoyed the read, dear poet
Such a well expressed poem about such a wonderful topic. I love spring and summer so much I spend summer in Brazil then return to the United States for summer again. I love your line "in each delectably sipped breath, of life." Wonderful.
that sounds like a magical schedule
to squeeze every last ounce of goodness
from our two brightest seasons..
I wish you continued, harmony
with nature and all her wondrous beauty..
and thank you! for this wonderfully encouraging words
hope you have a wonderful Spring/Summer, dear Poet
