I am obviously reinventing the wheel writing poems about spring and Easter at this time of year, but you have to go where the inspiration takes you.
Spring’s sprung
Clocks have gone forward,
Easter is past,
April’s established,
springs here at last.
Mornings quite chilly,
what to wear is a doubt,
ne'er cast a clout,
till may flower is out.
Look to the future,
past April showers,
friendlier days,
and beautiful
flowers.
Enjoy the passage,
through gentle spring,
and dance in the
world,
with musical swing.

New Ones
Bunnies and babies
ducklings and chicks,
gambolling puppies learning new tricks,
kittens hanging from
great balls of wool,
randy teenagers
out on the pull.
The essence of life
in the hands of the young,
bursting with energy and looking for fun,
no limits to life
only just begun,
clearly a sign that spring has sprung.
