[Eisa]

With a feel of spring in the air, I thought I'd revise this one.

Springtime Samba (revision 2)

As creatures stir with spring’s advance
familiar rhythms bid us dance,
cavorting while the skylark’s trilling;
nascent daffodils enhance
the grassy stage where lambkins prance.
Now winter’s pillowed, sunshine’s spilling,
glide to samba’s lively beat …
igniting passions with the heat.

Springtime Samba (revision one)

As creatures stir with spring’s advance
a distant rhythm bids us dance
and step in time to lovebirds trilling;
nascent daffodils enhance
the stage where lambkins prance.
Now winter rests, the sun is spilling
-- move to samba’s lively beat,
our speed increasing with the heat.

ORIGINAL

Come join the springtime samba; see
the twigs expand, buds bursting free.
Your rhythmic steps will quickly travel
over meadows to the sea.
Now winter’s gone, be filled with glee
and dance as vernal joys unravel.
Move your body with the beat;
enjoy increasing Springtime heat.
