SPRING QUADRILLE


We’re challenged to create a quadrille
using the word “spring” in exactly 44
words.  I challenged myself to use
the various meanings as well.

The buggy springs creaked
on the bumpy ride to Bozart's Spring
atop Larkspur Mountain.
Buckets were filled with clear,
cool water, and the homeward
trip begun amidst bluebells
and forget-me-nots, while
songbirds basked in sunshine
and serenaded the first days of Spring.

  3. Three uses of "spring" in one poem. We have fresh snow today but I assume spring has not been cancelled this year.

  11. I love the way you have started with the sound of the buggy springs and the evocative place names, which set up a short poem well. The buckets of water and blue flowers bring a freshness to it that contrasts with the sunshine to recreate the feeling of a spring morning.
