The earth becomes a canvas for Mother Nature's art when Heaven pours its bounty upon the ground and then brushes flower garden with lots of sunshine, 'til sprouts of daffodils and pansies abound.

Beware the spider's tangled trap, or you will be one sorry chap. Notes on the Sevenelle form of poetry ▼ |
