For Spring Is Here

Let me 'neath fleecy clouds be. For spring is here. God's creation all for me. For spring is here. So many glorious gardens to admire, Clematis attracts a bee. For spring is here. Aubrietia produced in profusion, Scented Daphne in valley. For spring is here. Up in the mountains, veiled with alpine flora, Wild primrose and rosemary. For spring is here. Orioles and robins lured by blush cherries, Magnolias so airy. For spring is here. But there on the calm wide seas, racing dinghies Ketches, sloops sail to the quay. For spring is here. Oh man, what's that I hear, someone is sneezing? Hay fever? Or allergy? For spring is here. 11 syllables per line. 11 September 2020 Ghazal Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One

It seems that Spring and Autumn have allergies associated with them. :) Rosemary is my favorite herb. You write so well, Victor. Peace, Angie

Oh, what joy and beauty spills from your glorious pen, Victor. Your appreciation for Nature is palpable, as is your dismay over allergy season.. Exquisite in form and imagery, dear poet. Love the end twist! Warmest wishes always, my friend.. ~Susan

Spring is such a wonderful time of year. It is Autumn here in Canada and though we miss the sweet smells of Spring Autumn has The riot of color that no other season has and the merry, busy days of harvest. Each season is so wonderful that I can never make up my mind which is my favorite. Great write here celebrating Spring. God Bless, JB

Lovely as always! I delight in the chosen flora and how they flow from the tongue. And I’m a sucker for the sea and its implements. Best wishes for contest!
