Alfresco
Cold winter’s dying present to the spring is swallowed by a burgeon green. Arise bright flowers, lift your heads; let colors sing a silent song for bees and butterflies to dance through golden dust. In tireless streams, small candy-coated feet waltz powdered plane of petaled floors. Now laden, each one deems it’s time to rise on wings of diaphane. Fly over bowers or to honeyed home to share that springtime’s sustenance. Equate with mother’s milk or manna in the comb. Food for a queen and hatchlings she’ll create to take her place at Gaia’s grand buffet ere summer’s sizzle takes it all away. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hi Merlin,
It's so nice to see you back. Missed you and your wizardly verses. Thanks for the nice words and I'm glad your flowers are finally daring to bloom. No snow down here in SE Louisiana; my roses have been blooming for a month now and my Peruvian Irises will soon be in full bloom. Amaralis and Glads haven't bloomed yet but should start in a couple of weeks. Seems like late spring. The X10 is in the weekly challenges in the Acropolis forum. Again, thanks for dropping in.
