Woodland Spring

~~

Carpets of bluebells

Dance in the breeze

Playground for butterflies

And busy buzzing bees.

~~

Songbirds all trilling

Their sweet springtime song

Nesting, investing

A future thats strong.

~~

Squirrels observing

From their treetop drays

vying for territory

In the long summer days

~~

Shy fawns with their mothers

On unsteady feet

Feed on the green shoots

Of spring till replete.

~~

The woodlands alive

With the flora and fauna

Peace reigns supreme

In this one tiny corner.

Hi Val
 
A lovely spring poem, I felt as if I was walking when I read this and admiring the countryside come alive in spring.
 
Well done.
 
Emma

Thanks Emma, It was lovely and spring like here when I wrote that but it seems to have disappeared again! Never mind hopefully it's on it's way back soon. Love Val xx

Hi Val
I really enjoyed this poem, it is really lovely.
Near where I live there are a few woodlands and places on the mountainsides that are just plastered in bluebells, it is like a big bluey purple carpet.
They are my favourite flowers.

Thank you mari I'm glad you enjoyed it. I miss Dorset at this time of year it is so beautiful there with the bluebells and wild primroses in the hgederows, I live in the Vale of Belvoir now and it is beautiful here too but not in the same way that Dorset is. No wonder it inspired such wonderful poetry. Take care Love Val xx

Delightful, Val, you capture my favourite time of the year so beautifully.
 
I live just at the foot of the Southdowns which have spring time lambs, calves and foals which can be seen from upstairs windows, but we have a green in frint which is edged with huge beds of crocus and daffs, which are now over and cricket began again it easter.....so I now, sadly see the end of spring encroaching to make way for the roses....mmnnn, maybe not so sadly. Lovely poem, I enjoyed it very much, Val, love, Zy x
