Those incessant sounds of birds all round
pale in front of anything else
flowers that are still to bloom
might overcome turmoil
still with a smile and
have set aside
time in which
to make
fruit
Note: Used Karina Borowicz’s ‘September Tomatoes’ as a prompt

a lyrical nine-liner for Spring which puts on a refreshingly different perspective – the enjambement makes the reading soft and smooth
