Hail Spring
Morning showers
Tender blossoms open
Pastel reflections skim the pond
The wind chimes and mourning doves harmonize
Lilacs recreate heaven's scent
Branches boast soft spring green
Beauty reborn
Hail Spring

HAIL! HAIL! Can I live there? I expect everyone here to sign up to Petal and Plume when I get the website up. I have to have your voices surrounding me. There is so much talent lurking within these pages it brings tears to my eyes.

Jim's message prompted me to revisit Rictameter and I am so glad I did. What a gorgeous picture you paint in so few words. I long to see, feel, smell, touch that beautiful scene.
