Spring's Lazy

While through quiet woods I pass

I am observed by tall towering trees

Entertained by squirrel’s chitter chat

And tenderly tickled by lightest breeze

 

Where soggy, saturated soil subsides

After raucous rain and snow abate

Deciduous buds shyly peek an eye

Enjoying early Spring’s mandate

 

Capricious, crooked creeks cajoling

From still snow-covered peaks

Burbling, bubbling, gurgling, guggling

A hurrying horde of winter’s leaks

 

Fall’s leaves camingled with fir needles

Knitting a quilt work of forest freeway

Evergreen galoots with long-legged roots  

Combine for a spring, nesting souffle

 

A tender twig cracks, then quietly

A silent Towhee’s shadow slips by            

Sun’s warm bright, filter’s down

An early Owl sends a hooty “Hi!”

 

April’s attitude is my kind of crazy

Barbecues t’ween daffodil and daisy

As winter memories get more hazy

I’m enjoyin lotsmorea sun seekin lazy

Spring is a delicious time of year when the flowers bud filling the air with romantic smells and bird flittering about. The sun becoming warmer and cooking outside on the grill. All the sights and sounds that abutted rebirth has to offer

[Dave Brown]

Spring all year round would be as good as it gets

Sounds wonderful. We have a cold spell. Still wearing winter Willie’s. No doubt it will warm up soon:)

On fine days such as these, we best lay down and take a nap, not to remain ignorant to the surrounding beauty, but to surrender ourselves into its warming embrace. There are things one cannot perceive if one remains awake. That being said, sleeping in is my favourite activity in Spring aside from travelling and scenic hunting. What a bliss.
Thank you for sharing your work, author Dave Brown, it was illuminating and tranquil.

It is always a pleasure hearing from either one or all three of you
I also enjoy sleeping but try not to overindulge during spring which I consider to be the most enjoyable time of the year and sleeping away any part of it is a loss that is unfortunately unretrievable
Have a pleasant day author Stu. T.H.

Having a read in Spring is also a pleasureable hobby, author Dave Brown. Perhaps I'd be getting back to some reading myself too in my coming leisure.
