Ah, Spring Fever is in the air
Let all beware
As minds will wander
And think and ponder
Then stop to sit in gardens green
Oh, so serene
Where dreams rise
To sunny skies
And bright colored flowers grow
Instead of snow
And songbirds sing
Ah, yes, tis Spring!
Minute
Let not your melancoly heart hold to drear
The daffodils speak of Spring coming soon
Should your nostalgic mind be given to fear
Take a stroll through the Daffodils this mid-noon
No matter the gloomy forecasts you hear
Yellow Daffodils sing Springtime’s tune
So come, shed Winter’s heavy cloak of grey,
Take a walk among the Daffodils today
Ottava Rima
A bright spot
In a weary day
Morning sun
Friendly smiles
Time to spend with family
Valentines Day
Shadorma
Winter’s shell of cold
Penetrated by sunshine
Hints of Spring peek out
Haiku
Rain puddles
Among green carpet
Sun shining
Melted snow
Temperature climbing
Winter’s fury ceases
Shadorma
Bright light
Shines thru trees
Chasing grayness away
Sun competes as tree shadows
Soon fade
Snow melts
Sunshine heat
Restores green carpet
Birds fly in, noisely inspect the scene,
With glee
Double Cinquain
Question:
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
I’m trying to live on nickels and dimes
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Good fortune falls and trouble climbs
Circumstances are so adverse
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
Answer:
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow
Remember this when days are filled with pain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
It’s an important truth you need to know
Remember, for good, healthy, happy life to obtain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow
Double Triolet
September’s last day
Sun shines brightly thru clouds
Sunflower enjoys
Haiku
Sunshine still streams
Bringing Summerlike weather
On the 1st day of Autumn
Yet, a leaf falls on the path
As if to say Summer’s gone
Tanka
Sun shines so brightly
Upon dew soaked flora
Tis the last day of Summer
Arise! Wake from slumber
Treasure every moment!
Tanka
