Wonder of Spring



The spring is here and the sun is shining
The grass is green and flora is budding
The delicate young leaves are uncurling
The young shoots unfurling
Some young leaves turn red to green
Some are bright with glossy sheen
The varying shades of green are beautiful
Contrasting colours with flowers bountiful
The dog roses are a delicate pink
With curly edges of brighter pink
The morning glory is blooming along the fence
The purple and pink flowers dotting the fence
The jasmine covers a huge swathe of vines in white
The perfume of the flowers is heady in the moonlight
It climbs over the trees and through the branches
Covering the fence and the garage as it marches
There are small flowering weeds all over the meadow
Leading charges with minute flowers of white, purple, orange and yellow
There are daffs this year where there were none
Also snowdrops will not be outdone
The cherry blossoms cover the bear branches of its tree
The white and pink flowers covering every tree
The wisteria hangs in bunches all over the roof
The glorious scent of it is spreading as proof
That the spring is here
Renewal is going on around the sphere
The birds are chirping as their young arrive
Bees are buzzing, ready for the pollination drive
A walk along the park is relaxing
The softly flowing water is soothing
The ducks floating peacefully
The parakeets chirping loudly
Cockatoos swooping playfully
Flight of swallows darting friskily
Ibis in the tress are idling
Bats in their riverside colony hanging
The breeze blows gently
The sun warms the morning swiftly
Renewal is everywhere to be seen
Spring is always a wonder I deem
