Did you look out to see
The bloom on daffodils today
Like the princess bride
Flounting on carnival's parade
The sun flower, flower
Follows the sun rays
On axils drawn like for like
On queues, of the sun worship
The painter, strokes his brush ready
On rolls of canvas to paint on
The poet is at it too, with scribbles
Turning splendour adored into words of beauty
I knew there was something, something
New in the air, the feel of its vibrancy
Echoes of birds awaking earth
With drum rolls on song's say so
And the dew on plant leaves
With face wash, to highlight its colours
And shine on processions
Bright as requested
Spring is the ceremonial attire
Worn by nature with grace
Multi coloured like an african fabric
In carnival seasons
Did you look out to see
Daffodil's yellow, white in some and some
Oh what a beauty Mother nature offers
To sweeten my delicate eyes on carnival
I can't figure out if Spring is lovelier every year, or if I am finally recognizing how splendid it is.
