Spring

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Flowers open

First daffodils then tulips

Some promise of primroses

Helibores nod their head

Leaves unfurl and spread

Yellows and golds attract the bees

Their eyes subtle patterns insects see.

Guiding them to nectar

From flowers and trees.

That’s the season set to please!

Esther’s limerick challenge. Luck

Every week Esther Chilton posts a limerick challenge. This week’s Monday limerick word was “luck”.

Sometimes these are easy, other times hard. This week’s wasn’t bad.

Basically a limerick has two rhyming lines of a longish length, then two shorter ones that rhyme using a different pattern and then finally the last line is longer and goes back to the first type of rhyme. Have a go yourself on Esthers page?

My limerick is :

Finally I have had some good luck,

I found lots of gold in a truck,

it was hidden away,

in an old parking bay,

at the home of the Pirate called “Hook”!

Silver birches

Sunlight on birches

Silver and brown.

Spring is a blooming

In woods and on ground.

Bluebells are over

Now comes the new

Garlands of roses

Covered in dew

Clematis climbing

Lilac are blue

Purple and white

Flowers scented too.

Remember the birches

Other trees shine

Oak tree and walnut

Hornbeam and lime

Oh lovely summer

In you come soon

When sunlight is brightest

At wondrous noon.
