Nature Springs Back to Life!

The sap swirls upwards, starts to flow

Wisteria buds on branches grow

Not that the process is advanced

But sun affords a sporting chance!

 

Spring’s action armies now display

Their Sherwood green in fine array

While flowers, neatly marshalled, wait

Their petalled beauty to inflate.

 

Man makes mistakes, as we all do

But spring delights us, right on cue

Her rich profusion gladdens hearts

As Cupid sharpens up his darts!

 

In meadows wee lambs jump with joy

Insects swarm forth, grubs deploy

While woodland pipits must beware:

A cuckoo’s egg their nest may share!

 

Days lengthen – roll on summer time!

An optimism bold, sublime

Feeds the lightness in our step;

A wondrous rebirth, we detect!


(c) Poet in the woods 2022





Did you know? "Cuckolded" derives from the behaviour of the crafty cuckoo taking advantage of another bird's nest!!
