A mist of rainbow dyes,
The burnished sunbeams brightening
From flower to flower he flies."

It's nearly spring...A Sonnet for Springtime.

Gazing with love at the world around me
Seeing the flowers in full bloom
A kaleidoscope of colours in harmony
Washing away Winter's gloom
Suddenly life erupts noisily in the air
A flurry of forms all excited
That the world is renewed
by Nature's tender care...

“The Lily of the valley, breathing in the humble grass
Answer'd the lovely maid and said: "I am a watry weed,
And I am very small, and love to dwell in lowly vales;
So weak, the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head;
Yet I am visited from heaven, and he that smiles on all
Walks in the valley and each morn over me spreads his hand,
Saying: 'Rejoice, thou humble grass, thou new-born lily flower,”

~William Blake

"Now thin mists temper the slow ripening beams 

Of the September sun: his golden gleams 

On gaudy flowers shine, that prank the rows 

Of high-grown hollyhocks, and all tall shows

That Autum flauntreth in his bushy bowers..."
~Robert Seymour Bridges from "The Garden in September," (1914)

"The flower offered of itself
And eloquently spoke
Of Gods
In languages of rainbows
Perfumes
And secret silence..."
~Phillip Pulfrey

“There is a flower, a little flower
With silver crest and golden eye,
That welcomes every changing hour,
And weathers every sky.”
