Spring Child--By Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend)--The Netherlands

Spring Child

It's like a little dance
Swaying, swinging at the rhythm
of a playful Spring breeze
The pansies move fluently while
their laughing faces greet the sun
The cat stretches, rolls on her back
and winks with one eye as a sign
of a silent, joined contentment
I wish I could freeze these moments
in time, the relaxed laziness, the gaiety
of blended colors and fragrances.
I know I can't influence nature's
movements, but I will always stay
a child of Springtime

    1. Thanks Knight Writer, the moment I wrote the poem it was the scene I described, at the moment it's cold and rainy but I enjoy the colors of Spring. The grass is the greenest green I have ever seen at the moment.

      Best wishes,
      Inge
