I country-danced a lively jig When I saw a green sprig, Glee filled me to the brim As I held the budding limb. I yelped an earsplitting shout When I saw a flower sprout Peeking from the flowerbed, It timidly raised it's head. Long has been it's slumber Now it wakes from under, Rising to a pale gray sky, A sight pleasing to the eye. I jumped with jubilation And excited anticipation Cause I saw a robin redbreast Gathering twigs for a nest. I cried hallelujah out loud When I spied a sunlit cloud And dots of blue amidst gray Teasingly on deluxe display. I yodeled to heavens on high As a gaggle of geese flew by, Honking northward they fly, Through a blue polka dot sky. I cartwheeled down the hill And flopped by a daffodil, It gave me marvelous joy Like a kid with a birthday toy. Suddenly I had a revelation Of the cause of celebration, Could it be true? Can it be? Spring has sprung on me. ©Written by: Kenneth J. Ellison 02-18-07 Return   Poetry By Ken Guestbook   Email Ken To send this page to someone
