Saffron Spring
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Blooms bountiful on laughter lane
Purple peonies after raging rain
May melodies, sunshine songs

A waking world, scents swirled
Saffron spring, scarlet ruby rose ~
Creamy clouds roam restlessly, slow.

He starred once in both 'The Ugliest Girl In Town' and 'Coronation Street'.

Sunshine of Our Lives

Ring around crimson roses
butterscotch sun comes around
lavishing mellow yellows upon
lifestyles on the ground

Colorfall

stained
beauty
the sun is
descending fast
shadows reveal a
purple martin plunging
fluttering like the wind
drifting in sunshine
petals dance too
