Watching Spring

I sat with back against a tree.
New, springy grass grew under me.
I watched the advent of the spring,
Enjoying each and every thing.

I listened to a flicker's cry
And saw a hummingbird nearby,
Just hovering, to look around
And see if feeders could be found.

Some wood ducks waddled from the creek
To peck the ground with stubby beak
And over all, the clouds sailed by
Like galleons, across the sky.

The scent of sap was in the air.
The daffodils and tulips, fair,
Made splash of color and I heard
Such joyous songs from every bird!

I felt a breeze so warm and soft
And watched an eagle soar aloft.
I lost all sense of time and place,
While watching spring, reveal her face!

Beautiful poem! I could sit and watch hummingbirds all day long. I think they are the neatest birds.

A beautiful picture of nature in the spring.. it makes me forget the rain outside!

Just lovely!

Love's a lovely lad
His bringing up is beauty
Who loves him not is mad
For I must pay him duty
