Colors of the Season

Somewhere in the city beneath the BLISSFUL sun A gardener has planting to do with her green thumb WHISPERING by are butterflies with ELOQUENT colors to the eye Perched above on a limb the neighborhood bird begins to sigh It declares with LILTING and TRANQUILITY a SPLENDOR to be heard Thrusting quickly overhead a bluebird cries with DULCET words Further down the garden path the FRAGRANT LAVENDER came WAFTING past The rhythmic swaying to the grass gave way to summer at last Inspired by Andrea Dietrich’s “Word warrior challenge: beautiful words”
