We greet a spring-like dawning <br />Leading to a distinctive day. <br />Sonnets are having their say. <br />Lyrical prose brings forth the red rose <br />And memories of love start to sway <br />To the rhythm of birdsong in May. <br />Ars Poetica showing the way. <br /> <br />I'll hear you whisper in rhyme <br />As long as pretty bells chime <br />For I know you simply adore me. <br />You are the one in rain or sun <br />You are life's spiritual story <br />Steeped in lyrical glory. <br />With sweetness of birdsong in May <br />Ars Poetica is showing the way.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ars-poetica-10/
