Spring In The Air

from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

A hint of fragrance;
Scent of life!
The daffodils sway,
Tidal; waves of yellow.
A squirrel sits among
The roots of an oak,
Head raised,
Whiskers twitching;
He smells it too!
Sunday morning,
Just the two of us,
Both recognizing,
Spring in the air!

Oh, this is lovely, Chris.

We have many of the little rascals, squirrels I mean, that live in our garden ... or in our barn I should say. They seem to have developed quite a taste for sun-lounger cushions. Green-striped ones they like the best.

Thanks Jen and Tina. I haven't seen a squirrel for some time now. Used to see lots in Greenwich Park once. ;)

This is a sweet poem. You managed to capture the arrival of spring with barely a handful of words.

Well done.

Nathan.

Says so much with so few words. And leaves the reader absolutely satisfied too. Excellent work, mate.
