The Essence of Spring

Sitting on the front porch swing

listening, absorbing, swaying. . .

gathering the essence of Spring.

Testing blossoms one by one,

bees drink from blueberry cups.

Nature's wine tasting has begun.

All birds sing in the chorus

chirping, tweeting, twittering. . .

heralding the arrival of Spring.

Roses nod agreement with the wind.

Purple iris bath in sunlight.

The alluring scent wisteria lends. 

Sitting on the front porch swing

listening, absorbing, swaying. . .

gathering the essence of Spring.

 Obviously, most of my inspiration lately comes from the beautiful weather we are having. I offer no apologizes. Before this 30 poems in 30 days challenge is over, there will probably be more verses inspired by the birds, bees, flowers and trees. God has surrounded us with beauty and we should reveal in it! Happy Spring, everyone!

Thank you, Glorious Creator - for the beautiful day today. The weather tempted me away from housework and even from yard work. I simply spent the afternoon enjoying Your handiwork. Thank you, again. ~ Amen
