Spring

Sprites dance in the mist of the forest
pansies and pink posies all aglow
rowdy nymphs play songs to a cyclist
inviting all to be in the show
new flowers abloom bringing sweet cheer
goldenrod's bow, it is their premier.

I love spring and I love cycling.
I just wrote a poem on a similar topic today without seeing this first. It's amazing how that can work from time to time.
I enjoyed your vision of springtime. A sweet poem that lets me smell the flowers in your words. When I ride at present my season is autumn (fall), but in Australia most trees don't lose their foliage in the winter, so there aren't many leaves on the ground. It's possibly a little similar to your springtime.
I'm seeing lots of ducks as I ride at the moment. They look very happy and self satisfied. I haven't come across any sprites or nymphs yet but there is always tomorrow.
Thank you for this little vignette. It was a joy to read.

Spirits dance in the midst of the forest; pansies & pink poises aglow.
Rowdy nymphs play songs to a cyclist, inviting them to know.
But the new flowers bloom, with the memories of gone.
And the Sweet Broom blossoms, and the Maple has none.
Maybe a California thing. One of my clients has a dying Japanese Maple tree that is dying - just killing me.

Each season has its own beauty;
Fall has its dazzling array of colors,
Winter has its time when nature sleeps;
But spring is a time when earth awakens
Leading us into days of summer fun.
I will watch out for the sprites and nymphs as I drive down the highways. The many wildflowers of a Texas spring give them a place to hide alongside the road.
I like it.

Spring is a great time and you describe it well. When I was a child I used to say
"The Spring is sprung and the grass is riz
so I wonder where the flowers is".
While I like to pass the tiny bit of doggeral on to my grandchildren, your poem describes the blooming of spring much better.
Keep up the good work. You get a thumbs up!

I like this small acrostic. It is a picture of spring.
I like the nymphs playing songs to a cyclist. I see them with the ear plugs in as they ride...now I
know who they hear.
It's vivid with color. A delight.
