gentle kisses on petals
calm, cozy, thankful

Sun showers in Spring
Can rainbows be far behind
I look to the sky
✨
Cozy in the arms of earth
Spring bulbs preparing
to make their debut

The earth is crying
When the swallows disappear
Nature's warning sign

A swallow singing
in the cooling of the night
How sweet, my slumber

Graceful, swallows fly
Captivating sky dancers

Make life selections
the same way we choose our fruit
Squeeze, sniff, pick the best
✨
Do we select our path
or does fate lead us
to the door of its choice
✨
I cannot resist
the selection of donuts
so one of each, ple😊se

The image is a painting titled Walnut Tree in Spring by French Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro, created in 1894.

The spell of a Fragrant Star
beneath a silvern moon
✨
In the walnut grove
A lark sings in woodsy notes
Heartwood’s undertones
✨
O Azalea
Sweet petals of fragrant lore
Perennial joy

A ballerina
Unfurls in soft skirts of green
Dance of a flower
✨
The sun blushes red
As night whispers “come hither”
Rendezvous at dusk
✨
Green stems and blazes of red
Scarlet O’Haras
