Grandeur

Those dreamy days of dulcet splendor reign As songbirds fill the skies and buds appear Sweet iris blossoms line the country lane Their bearded lace announcing spring is here The resurrection of once-frozen roots Produces grandeur in each garden patch As nature’s flowers don their finest suits And nests appear in limbs where robins hatch The debutants in chiffon gowns await Slow dances with brash boys who’ll seek a kiss ‘Neath sequin stars rapt lovers speak of fate As climbing buds on trellises dehisce Cocoons are shed and butterflies step out Earth’s kindest season ushers joy throughout *February 25, 2019
