April's Dance

The air is clean and fresh as spring,
the rain has washed it so.
The grass is green, with rain drops bright,
they glisten as I go.

My heart is light, my soul refreshed,
my steps are fetter-free;
would you enjoy a walk my friend?
Then come along with me!

We'll tiptoe through the tulip beds,
careful of the bugs,
those ladies do a mighty work
unlike those oozy slugs.

Butterflies and buzzing bees
flit and float above the gleaming blooms.
The maiden finch, give inch by inch,
to the sweetest, courting grooms.

It's spring time in the north,
April is clicking off its days.
Flora and fauna
are dancing in sun's rays.

Let us join the happy throng,
let us twitter hearts and sing.
We'll pirouette beneath the sun
and croon of lovely spring.

©April 11, 2003


Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Awesome.  This is just the way I feel about Spring.  You write and express yourself very well.

This is awesome!!! I loved the feeling in this!! Totally uplifted my day!

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

Oh, this makes me just a little homesick, as I was born and raised in Oregon....but English Springs are identical, so it fits the surroundings here, too!!  Loved it, and now I think I will go out and play in my garden!!!!!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~

Nice spring in your steps!
I can smell the fresh Oregon air with each line.
