Nature

TIME-SPRING

Row of forget-me-knots, shimmer in breeze

Side of the drivesway, through tall trees

Leads to an orchard, laden with late fruit

Process-marmalkade-pickles-chutney-suit

Nature waits her beauty, colours bright

Already in bud, stretching to the light

Spring's here, already warm breezes blow

Soon new shootings, will-blossom-show

Fresh feelings, yet everywhere see

Winter is gone, warmth the new key

We've longed for summer, cotton to wear

Beach-days, sunshine-nothing compares

With early spring colours, still bright

Adding depth, refreshing new sight

We wait the hot sun, already heating

Rainfall gives water, for greenery greetings

Smell of mowed lawns, as rapidly grows

Over landscape, allow eyes to flow

Welcome, seasonal-and-rightful-change

We know the newcomer, SPRING by name
