2012 Spring/Easter card. |
The Snowdrops shyly start the march
Their white hats peeking out,
From under snowdrifts
Or the leaves that blow about.
The Crocus follow slowly with
Their caps of purple and gold
Waving gaily in the wind
What a sight to behold.
Then suddenly the Daffs are up
Across the town so strong.
Their brassy trumpets playing
A familiar Springtime song.
And Tulips slide up next in line,
Their rainbow bonnets high.
They smile up at the cheering birds
Who call down from the sky.
Hyacinths bring up the rear,
Regal in their crown.
The bumblebees come flying by
And knock them upside down.
Hope you catch this yearly show
The colorful bulb brigade.
Humans have nothing to compare
To Nature’s Spring Parade.

This is most uplifting Suz, brightening up a dreary wet and windy day where I am.
Thanks for sharing, excellent poem.

Beautiful poem. Very much like spring and Easter in the word choices. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous poem. I can *see* the flowers! I miss the Tulips that we had around our home in the midwest. Now, living in the desert, the only tulips I see anymore are in photographs. :)
Thanks for commenting. It is wet and dreary here, too. Tomorrow's post has photos of tulips so stop back for a second day of cheer, please.
The card is lovely. Happy May to you!
Very cute.
Hey, nice Survivor badge!
