Springtime Song

The robins twitter as they fly,
gems glitter on Hyatt-Mill Creek,
purple crocus pop up,
the year's at the spring.

Cotton clouds kiss azure skies,
mountains unfurl royal blue ribbons,
jonquils splash sunshine on banks,
the robins twitter as they fly.

Sound the flute!
The winter is past,
life bursts forth from earth's tomb,
gems glitter on Hyatt-Mill Creek.

The hillside's dew-pearled,
frogs croak on the pond,
there's joy in the mountains,
the year's at spring.
              --Brenda Kay Ledford

Brenda, this is such a colorful poem, along with your beautiful photos. Are the pictures taken of your own flowers? Your part of the world must be a wonderful place.

Hi Brenda! I really love your Springtime Song, and isn't nature's springtime song completely glorious. Spring is busting out all over where I live in Tennessee.
Have a lovely weekend!
