Optic Verve

Flair, in the brush stroke of spring
Beat of the changing of guard
Back from a journey to sing
Pleasantries awaken the yard

Beat of the changing of guard
Beg to crack, from the earth peers the bud
Pleasantries awaken the yard
Dance of raindrops turn hard pan to mud

Beg to crack, from the earth peers the bud
Reaching out to the limitless sky
Dance of raindrops turn hard pan to mud
Resonant calls on wing from the fly

Reaching out to the limitless sky
Tempts remember the colors bright hue
Resonant calls on wing from the fly
Calls the earth, beckon forth and renew

Tempts remember the colors bright hue
Back from a journey to sing
Calls the earth, beckon forth and renew
Flair, in the brush stroke of spring

ThisDiamond,

Very nice poem--it's always good to see a well formed pantoum pop-up now and again.

We should have named you something that
has a nature theme to it....No, not mother
goose and the nursery rhymes...
