Spring Poem

Wow, I've not been blogging since before Christmas. Blame it on Facebook, I suppose. And my being computer-free between 8.00am and 4.00pm (on most weekdays, anyway). I am still wondering how I can streamline all the things I feel compelled to write about. Hmmm....

The weather has been so pretty the great outdoors has been our classroom the past week. And today my nature-lover daughter wandered further into the woods with her sketch-pad. When she finally came home she handed me a little poem she wrote. It has a long time since she penned anything poetic so I was happy to read her little piece. Sweet, I thought so here it is, for posterity, lol.

Spring

When you see the purple periwinkles
And hear birds' sweet songs ring,
It is spring.

When you watch lizards scamper
As does most every living thing
It is spring.

When the warm breeze dances
And the robin comes north to sing
It is spring.

When crocuses and snowdrops
And daffodils come up, bing!
Then it is spring.
