Lovely lavender lilacs
Lazily lifting life
Living lavishly
Laughing luminously at leprechauns

Precocious pansies
And prickly pears
Play politely to prayers
Posing pleasantly

Beautiful butterflies
Bathe in brightness
Briskly breathe at blossoms
Behaving bottled brilliance

Teasing tulips trapezing
Trusting tender tiptoes
Tasting the tender tantrums
Of the tipitty-tapping toads

Dallying daffodils
Dropping ditties at daybreak
During drip-dropping dew
Dousing the dawdling duckling

Sweet snapdragons
Snipping snarls at snails
In sassy sureness of spring
Surviving simple sanity

Rare roses
Revealing readiness
Reciting recurrent recollections
Reclaiming rediscovery

Whispering willow
Wavering in the westward wind
Wafting wishes
While weathering woodpeckers

Melancholy mishaps
Merrily modify marigolds
Masquerading the map of May
Mopping mirrors of madness

Oh, do I know
an alliterative moth
who is going to
dance all over this!

Wonderful job, JB!

This was fun to read.  Especially enjoyed this one:

         "Beautiful butterflies
          Bathe in brightness
          Briskly breathe at blossoms
          Behaving bottled brilliance"

Their brilliance I would just love to bottle!
It sounds like you had a lot of fun with the alliteration!  Enjoyed.

I have framed little poems from Passions in my home, and this one of yours really tickled my tongue, and also my fancy!     I have also pasted poems to the backs of all my artwork in the house, just words I found here and there at Passions that other people wrote that describe well how I feel about or see a particular painting.  Here is where I am going to puts yours later today.  It sure suits it don't you think?

Karilea you're sooo cute....I'm sure I know who that is but my head is drawing a blank.  I'm happy that you enjoyed this!!!Thank You!!!!  

Miscee I had a lot of fun with this.  I just might try it again.  Thank You!!!!

Dixie...it's nice to see you too.  You little angel of the archives.  Thanks!!!!

Ice...the sounds of it are fun and yes I loved the play of this one.  Thank You!!!!

Marge....It's great to be home.  My muse finally decided it wanted to come out and play.  I wrote 3 poems in a 24 hour period.  And loved every minute of it.  But, I think what I love more is seeing the friendly words of others gracing my screen for me to read.  I need to come by and play more often.  I'm happy to see you also.  And I'm glad you enjoyed.  You are such a sweetheart!!!! Thank You!!!!

Sharon....your painting is beautiful.  I am very very honored to be up in your home.  Thank YOU so very much.  Sweet lady.  

Martyjo,  That is so cool that you have gardens around your house.  It brightens up everything around you...gardens do.  It was playful fun.  Thank You!!!!



HUGS AND LOTS OF LOVE,
Bridgette
