Spring Fresh

Spring Fresh

Snow has disappeared.

Spring is in the air.

Robins seen zoom,

flowers soon bloom.

Rain pings.

It's spring!

Rain greens the grass

making it grow fast.

The air smells clean

when the grass greens.

Soon dandelions will be seen

adding to the spring-fresh scene.

Spring's fresh perfume

invites bees to zoom

when hidden flower bulbs stretch and yawn

and flowering trees light up the lawn

into a rainbow of delight

scenting the air at first light.

Is it the spring rains that makes the air smell spring fresh?

Or does flower's perfume contribute to the freshness?

When laundry is hung on the line,

how does it then spring-fresh mime?

Irregardless there's a magic about spring

that causes birds and humans to yearly sing.

Here's something we all know:

spring showers and rainbows,

returning songbirds and flowers,

flowering trees all holler -

spring is here!

We all cheer!

The smell of fresh laundry hung on the line

cannot be bottled even if tried.

If fabric softeners try to mimic

they should be outlawed by this cynic

for fabric softener causes me

to become weak in the knees,

red in the face, lose my voice.

As said "outlawed," if my choice.

Do make part of your this year's "go green" theme

a scent-free, environmentally friendly scene.

Everyone will be better off for it

when chemicals you can eliminate.

Look for the green packaging

on unscented product packages.

It's a healthier way of living.

Incorporate the "go green"' adage.

Eliminating man-made scents

is healthy and makes a lot of sense.

Buying organic also makes sense.

Growing your own will save you cents.

What's nicer than tomato plants scent?

You might plant a herb garden of scents

then watch the bees work in the fragrance.

Go use your God-given common sense.

Pay attention to what I say;

listen closely to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart;

for they are life to those who find them

and health to the whole body.
