Springtime

Chris Hall40 Comments

my little friend

Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move
Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim
Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again

The sky is tinged with pink and turquoise, doves are courting merrily
Male weaver birds are busy making many nests, looking hopeful
Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move

Pond skaters glide across the water, striding with purpose
A dragonfly flies fast, then hovers, seeking for a mate
Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim

Bright butterflies with glorious rainbow colours dance with glee
And pretty flowers wave to the bees asking them to pollinate them
Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again

    • Such a nice thing that you’ve said, dear Aladin. Thank you for that. Lovely spring, yes, although it’s rather changeable – three different seasons in a day in the Cape just now.

        • Ha ha, from April to October 😉

          P.S. – I tried to reply on your post, but nothing. Dropped into spam (probably). Here’s what I said:

          Excellent post, Aladin! I did know some of those things about those two, but good to learn rather more. I’ve read that very long book – always remember the guy called Starbuck! I have also read several super short stories from Poe, and of course also watched some of those ones many moons ago.

          Do hope you are feeling very much better – and soon.
