Here is more spring-like quadrille for dVerse.
With delight, the robin sings
amidst his vernal wandering,
each treble note
seems to float
over newly surfaced yellow-green,
and we are keen
to feel the warmth, to taste the air,
to go about without a care
to listen to the songs of spring

Rhymes seem so appropriate for this season. Lovely!
Thank you, Jane. I think I had to get my winter rant out first. 😉
Maybe that’s what the birds are doing 🙂
🙂
I think we’re in times when none of the seasons can be taken for granted. This is a nice antidote for winter blues.
Thank you, Ken. I’m ready for the snow to be gone for good.
Very chirpy!
Hahaha. Thanks!
Nice sound to this.
Thank you, Frank.
I enjoyed the borscht poem so much I came back for seconds and you’ve written another beauty, Merril! The rhymes give your Quadrille a lovely lilt, like the robin’s song,
Awww–thanks, Kim!
My thought rhymes with Kim’s. Thank you, Merril.
Thank you, Marian!
This is just like a song… 🙂
Thank you, Björn!
Liltingly evocative
Thank you, Derrick.
I’m still waiting to see (or hear) some robins…this has a wonderful spring music.(K)
Thanks so much, Kerfe. I think some robins must winter here now. But when the weather got warm in February, I started hearing them. Not so much the last few days though, though there was a little sparrow just chirping his heart out by the back steps earlier today.
The sparrows have been landing on my window sill and looking at me. Their colors are so beautiful when you see them up close, not the brown blur that registers from a distance. If I talk to them they leave though.
I’ve also been hearing a lot of cardinals.
Lovely and perfectly rhymed! No robins singing here, yet. It’s far too wet. Has your snow melted?
I saw a poor robin on a branch last week, flicking snow of his tail. No, it’s too cold, and the snow is still here, even though we didn’t get that much. The ice is gone from the branches though and the streets are dry.
Stay safe and warm. Spring will be here in no time. 🌷
Thank you, Rose. 🙂
And thank you, Rose. 🙂
I like this photograph and your pleasing sounding quadrille, Merril. The male robin is such a cheery bird in appearance and song, too. This was a sweet post! 🙂
Thank you, Robin! 🙂
