Spring
by Olivia Kaddis (age 12)
With spring comes bright flowers that grow in vibrant colors.
Follow the windy breeze to their bed
where a delicious fragrance fills the air.
The birds chirp a joyful song as they dance among the roses.
The bees snuggle up in the silky flower petals and drink the smooth nectar.
The worms crunch on the crisp leaves.
The sun laughs at the jokes of the sunflowers.
The flowers hug each other so the wind doesn’t take them away.
The wind grows colder and the sun waves goodbye.
Alas, for night has come and all merrymaking dies away to a gentle sleep.
The moon and the stars sing a lullaby and say,
“Good night flowers, see you tomorrow.”
