Spring is in the Air

#DailyFlowers

 'Tis time for a new post
As blogger.com plays the merry host
Full many a beauty has been shared
Let's see how they have fared
In February the blogger went on a trip
The nasty cold season she did skip
Hit Delhi in early spring
From there many flowers she did bring

Flowers and blooms many
In varieties and colors zany
Far as the eyes could see
Spring had set the city on a blooming spree
Tulips did have center stage
With their stories one could fill many a page

Spring doth rejoice in its yellows
Truly they are merry fellows
In Delhi carpets of them were seen
Brightening each and every scene

The thirst for blooms did awaken
Thence to the Rose garden I was taken
Glories and stories were there found
Pinks, peaches, orange-lemon hues did abound

To Switzerland did my cousin go
Sent these beauties to show & glow
Spring is in the air everywhere
With shining hues truly fair

Further tales are yet to be knit
More images designed to fit
Frames that tell their sweet tales
Ringing across cities, valleys & dales
But the blogger is hard-pressed for time
Still free doesn't flow the rhyme sublime
The many shared images do add cheer
Here, there and everywhere
The blogger does request some more time
To let the lines spontaneously chime

A Long Time Coming...

 It's been a long time since I came to this page and put fingers to the keyboard. But to be honest the drive to do so has not been present. Hopefully, today marks a fresh start and I will be able to post more regularly. I may not be able to cover all the pix that were shared since the last post, but will try to make up for some. And yes, on my journeys I spent time in Delhi where spring was making its presence felt with Tulips & roses, especially. Will feature these in due course. For the now

It's time to write
Yet words sound trite
There's a deep emptiness inside
And no place for it to hide
Flowers beautiful, colorful & serene
They should be making for wonderful scenes
Yet the lines do not flow
The blog cannot put up its regular show
Blooms there are so many
Hues vivid and zany
From across the world do pictures come
Of winter blooms, then spring and some
Of Tulips, petunias, daffodils, daisies and more
Too many flowers to even keep up the score

Colors so vivid that they do shine
On blooms calm, peaceful and so benign
Roses have a special place
Each sighting is blessed with unique grace
Full well the sharers have done their bit
Is for the blogger to make descriptions lit
Me thinks the lines are too tame
It's gonna take some time to up the game

As myriad colors share their beauty
This blogger strives to do her duty
To let the colors have their way
So that blooming melodies may again sing & sway
Come forth to brighten days & ways
Do justice to Nature's displays

Not Flowers but a collective's expression
With paint on canvas, multitude impressions
A city-scape, workers, guards and more
Swirls, whorls & geometric shapes  offset the score
Colors beautifully mingled
From one canvas to another, tales do jingle
