For the dVerse prompt “A World of Common Scents“:
For weeks Spring has flirted
teased
with a wink of golden narcissus,
and a coy blue-sky smile
tossed over her shoulder
before she turns and sashays away again
into Winter’s iron-scented grey.
Until now,
finally
she makes her intentions clear
and with soft pink arms reaching out
offers a sweet blossom-perfumed kiss.
Great prompt Worms!

Gorgeous, Kate! I have started photographing blossoms too. They’re irresistible. Today felt like spring. Not that I was able to be outside for much of it. This need to earn money is so restricting!
Yep, working is for mugs. 😀 At least it was a nice weekend – I spent most of it outside with our new puppy.
Oooh new puppy! What fun? What shape? Colour? Sex? I hope you enjoy it as much as I love having Oscar. The first few months were hard yakka with house training but it has only been wonderful since then.
He’s a (mostly?) red heeler, and seems pretty smart. He knows he’s not allowed on the couch so he only gets on when no one is watching. House training is coming along, he mostly goes to the door when he needs to go, it’s training the kids to notice and go open the door that is the bigger challenge! I think he was trying to herd the pig yesterday 😀
Ha ha. Are you going to give him his own door? Our chicken has one. 😉
😀 Is your chicken house trained?
Not that our puppy is yet, but I have hopes.
Sorry. No it was an oblique reference to a Monday portrait post of the chicken looking I the dog door.
Don’t get discouraged about the house training. Oscar took a good 5 months to really cotton on.
I saw that picture, but had thought the chicken came through the door too. 😀
My neighbour has had a problem with a wombat coming in through her dog door and wrecking things in her laundry.
We’ll get there with the house training. 🙂
Lol. Wombats are hilarious. Did your kids have Diary of a Wombat? By … damn can’t think of her name. Lives down Araluen way.
Yep, we have that one. 🙂 It’s Jackie French.
That’s the one!!!
Though our seasons are reversed, I am already thinking of the Spring that follows our High Desert winter!! Well done.
I always enjoy reading all the northern hemisphere spring poems during our Autumn. They remind me that it will be spring here again eventually too. A high desert winter sounds clean and dry, with bright starry nights.
This is breathtakingly beautiful, Kate! ❤❤
Thanks Sanaa ❤
Very pretty.
🙂 I do like the blossoms. Although I often think it would be better to plant trees that fruit as well. Maybe that would bring too many possums into town though.
Beautiful soft feeling to this verse.
Thanks Ain ❤
