A PROMISSED SPRING POEM BY FIONA CUMMINGS


A PROMMISSED SPRING POEM

BY FIONA CUMMINGS

At last it’s spring

Blossom will sing

To the tune of the birds

And the fragrance of the herbs

A fine orchestra will play

On the sunny spring day

The golden trumpets of daffodils

Shall blow their way through the bulbs

Forcing pretty fine tunes

To please the crowds of blooms

Yellow trillium

Shall play at the Palladium

Oh then the hellebore

A different calibre

A league on its own

In its own zone

How about the bloodroot

Playing the flute

Enjoying the music

Is my favourite tree the lilac

Listen to the spring choirs

The beautiful iris

Then everyone may focus

On the elegant crocus

As they stand so tall not wanting to be a failure

Next to the Azalia

And as we all will clap

We will notice the tulip

Of course we have the Rhodi’s

With their growth of ten foot

And I think my spring show looks lovely

So I shall leave you to enjoy

Throwaway gloves

And put on your sunhats

A final solo

From the little choir boy
