Apple Blossom Time

As the icy cold of winter gives way to days of spring
The trees begin to blossom and the birds all start to sing
And so begins a very lovely special time of year
When nature sings the sweetest song that you will ever hear

Out among the apple trees as the buds begin to bloom
The fragrance of the orchard fills the air with sweet perfume
I listen to the soft and gentle buzzing of the bees
As they dart from flower to flower in the branches of the trees

As the sun peeks through the tree tops on a warm and sunny day
I’ll find a cool and shady spot where I can go and lay
And daydream to my hearts content throughout the day so long
While listening to a chorus of the apple blossom song

As the fragrance of the blossom petals softly fill the air
The chances are you’ll find me dreaming lazily out there
Somewhere in the apple orchard feeling quite sublime
In the coolness of the evening at apple blossom time

Your poetry requires deep analysis to see why it flows so perfectly that you want to read it  aloud and let your mouth and tongue play with the words.

I have a theory that whatever you said in this perfect rhythmical way would still be amazing.  Though your poetry I have seen in this style perfectly matches the rhythm.

You join the masters, like Kipling in his 'Female of the Species', in carrying the reader along...
