Spring Ante up...



Hear our sweet nature,
celebrate the end of hunger's winter.
Finally sweet warm air,
and tasty bugs everywhere.

Slug nurseries snug n’ warm,
napping under blooming leaves.
Lady bug meetings,

planning there good deeds.

Love songs sound boldy,
perched on branches of love sick trees.

Violin strings of cricket instrumentals,

conduct heart pounding plea's.


Frogs and toads leap for joy,
on thawed ponds and lily’s bloom.
Nature game’s to play,
duck, duck, Goose, your.. it!

The chain of life renews,
all around us not in view.
So, you can imagine my surprise,
When right before my eyes,

EEk..... thud!

I Fell faint up the floor.

Spring Ante up,

right in my own backyard!

 

 

 

 

Happy Spring Everyone!

    I enjoyed the picture painted here. All the spring sights and sounds. The joy of children playing in the "sweet warm air" (hopefully they aren't eating any of those tasty bugs).

    I think the lines I like best for simplicity and clean expression are these:
    Finally sweet warm air,
    and tasty bugs everywhere.

    All in all, I think it's a good write.
    I had to look to find one small nit in my next favorite lines: "Lady bug meetings, planning, there (there as in location or their as in being the ones acting ?) good deeds. either way is fine if intended.


    Thanks for sharing
