SPRINGTIME RHYMING COUPLETS

(Basically…two related lines that end with the same sound…!)

Tidy gardens waiting for

Someone to sit down and snore.

–

Masonry froggie sits for hours,

Hoping for  a load of flowers!

–

Variegated leaves undimmed

Exponentially fill in.

–

Fruit tree florals gradually fade

But garden visitors are “made in the shade”.

–

Poison ivy finds its niche,

Valient gardeners scratch an itch.

–

Lilac bushes flower strong…

Robins sing a perfumed song.

–

Hummingbirds among flowers flit,

Nesting eggs to deposit.

–

Open windows screen in cats

Chattering at birds (what’s with that?).

–

Felines doing no dread crime…

Lounging with no thought of time.

–

Rumbling of motorcycle “gangs”…

Distant thunder on our peace hangs.

–

(A Slight Change of Pace!)

Softly singing afternoons,

Slower paced old brides and grooms…

One or the other has gone Home

Singing throught the chores alone.

–

Little dogs sleep inside,

Unless Master will take a ride!

–

Skyward we hear every blade

Of propeller’s progress made.

–

Stillness calms our inner ear

In this tranquil rural time of year!
