Childlike

Yesterday’s Prompt at Poetry Playing:
“Spring has returned.The Earth is like a child that knows poems.” Rainer Maria Rilke
clip_image002My Poem:
 
childlike
 
breezes caress my nape brushing the small hairs up on end
I dance across new grass encouraged by soft tickles on toes
laughter pirouetting through blossoming magnolias
and bursting fragrance from wild cherry trees
filled with starlings gossiping their winter adventures
0 - green butterfly

    Wee Willie Winkie
    Runs to the cupboard
    Trying not to be Stinkie
    He downs a Woo Woo
    And his mother goes Boo Hoo

    as much as the word is overused, i want to use it: wonderful imagery! i can't wait to get some spring feeling here... if it weren't for the birds, we'd hardly know it's supposed to be spring
