Innocence of Spring

The Dogwood faithful to the spring with opened arms of blossoms white, a resting place for birds to sing as dawn breaks into morning light; in the breeze, Dutchman’s Britches swing, Columbine, in the shade, delight.

A lovely poem Paulette. I really liked, in particular, how you opened the rhyme with the personification. I've read a few of your poems that refer to sunrise in all its beauty and all have been a joy to read. This is no exception. Cheers - Gary

Beautiful scene so peaceful and well described. Hits home as I have dogwood (pink) with columbine and bleeding hearts (similar look in Spring to the Dutchman's breeches) in my shade garden.

Paulette, what a delightful, floral tapestry of spring! I used to sit under a dogwood on campus in the springtime and came to love the columbine when we lived in the mountains. This picture of loveliness brought me such a sense of peace and joy! Congratulations on your win! Blessings.
