Thoughts of Spring Around The Corner

The sun is shining,
Hanging low in the winter sky,
Crocus's and snowdrops peep,
Upwards in groups, they sway,
To the cold wind, that shivers
Our bones, the daffodils are
Starting to bloom, yellow groups
Of beauty, spread around the
Borders and paths.
Buds are appearing on
Shrubs and trees,
Even blossom on some
Of the trees, cotton-wool like
Flowers, snowy white,
And in the fields, lambs
Begin to frolic, full of
The joys of Spring,
And everyone is uplifted,
By the promise that it brings.

Feelings from the Heart

Feelings are emotions,
That make us what we are,
Feeling happy,
A smile on my face,
Feeling sad,
A teardropp falls,
Feeling ill,
Reach for a pill,
Feeling embarrassed,
Red faced or what?
Feeling down,
Need a clown,
Feeling alone,
Need a friend,
Feeling fine,
No need to whine,
Mixed feelings?
Work it out!
Lynda Robson

Lines Written In Early Spring 

by William Wordsworth
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And 'tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure:--
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.

If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature's holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
