Freya, Queen of Spring.

Anthea, Goddess of flowers,

crowns Freya, the honourable Queen of Spring.

Cherished by all, mother to God’s creation.

Her soul spills colours unknown to man,

wherever she treads a seed will birth.

A silver shimmer, a tell-tale sign of her glorious shadow.

Her wings, powdered tyrian talc,

eyes smiling pearls,

flowing gown of amber silk covers flesh of ice-white dew.

Finger tips smeared with frankincense and marjoram sweet,

she slumbers through Winter’s indigo corridors.

Astonished Cowslips drip yellow tears,

Foxgloves ordinary blush flips to a flamingo flush,

their chalices brim liqueur of Bumble’s heaven.

Wallflowers unfasten bright gold buttons on spires of myrtle-green

as tiring Tulips burst out last breaths of parma violet.

Queen Freya…hailed from mint mists…

Born from a treasure of fauna, giggles

as her sage-green cloak
splashes over an ocean of swelling seeds,

titillating buds of loveliness.

She awaits blossom’s rise,
hums to a dawning sky

as she twines threads of gold.

Freesias untie their spume frocks,

Anemones unfurl bows of blue…

they murmur a hum, ping purple

and shades of cerise appear

as a Siskin applauds the sunset.

A fresh painting after a shower of rain.

Limed leaves worship and hiccup,

mossy coloured frogs cheer,

Violets purr in puny sunstrokes

as Freya tickles through ebony earth.

Faint sounds of growing gems  

break dull muteness of Winter’s goodbye!
