Hearts Jumping on Garden Trampoline

lady with the birds























under hot pink & red flowering trees
in a meadow of fresh spearmint green
bright yellow sun, gentle spring breeze
hearts jumping on garden trampolines

little bird reciting, poetry lyrical song
beautiful peacock, hues of green & blue
new life in bloom, nature plays along
listening with love to her spiritual muse

dancing with splendor, birds flying high
peacock waits to fan his brilliant feathers
capturing all the shades in an endless sky
free spirited a wild bird cannot be tethered

spring offers an array of special pleasure
filled with vibrant colors, priceless treasure

  1. Spring sure brings forth many colors that catch the eye every which way, peacocks don't really sing magical songs though, at least according to our former neighbors who tried to get them banned haha they can honk and annoy many though. And let spring offer pleasure each day haha

    1. Spring indeed is full of an array of colors to catch the eye
      I have never heard a peacock's cry..but, sounds like it
      might not be so pleasing.. I have heard the songs of
      little birds as they flutter around from tree to tree..

  3. I adore your title!!!!! and especially love the line "a wild bird cannot be tethered". A wild anything cannot - or at least should not - be tethered. They fret, and dream constantly of escape.

  17. When I was a kid (I know, I'm still a kid), my Mom said, "That's a peacock honey." I thought she said p.e.e.c.o.c.k. Those are memories that tend to stick. I love colors and spring and peacocks for that matter, Truedessa. I'd like to believe there's a peacock hidden somewhere in each and every one of us.
