The summer time dance



The Summer Time Dance
The winter solstice has passed so the spring dance can begin at last
And everyone is invited from every tree as far as the eye can see
To each and every flourishing flower the buzzing bees and singing birdies
Over the coming months everyone’s waking up deep sleeps are a thing of the past
The green grass dancefloor has finally opened at long last
The fairies have bloomed into there golden princess dresses  
They’ve finally become daring dancing dandelions and ladies tresses  
Greeted by the dante daisies and the tulips as they tapdance and prance
They are the first guests of many who will be attending the spring dance
To twirl swirl glide slide to sway the spring away at the infmous green grass dancefloor
The butterflies flutter, dancing among the swaying dewdrops a sight to adore
It’s summer time delight the sun is a disco ball in the sky
It’s ray’s the stages spotlight complementing the sparkle of the firefly
The VIPS of the night are ready to sprout up stars of the springtime dance
They only make an appearance but once a year to attend the dance
The daffodil delicately and dutifully arrives just ahead of the spring dancers highlights
Then the sunflower the true king of spring stalks tall with heads big bold and bright
Basking in the sun’s spotlight they tower above all beautifully they are simply the best
Greeting all the guests as they wake from there slumbering rest
It’s time to let the annual spring time dance commence
The colours are so vivid the sounds so sweet the aroma a Fragrant  floral incense
In which nothing else can compete
On the lush green grass dancefloor wild flowers of all types and kind begin to thrive
The ants aim for the surface to watch the grasshoppers lively jive,
The Beatles brazant colours shimmer green and blue the springs strobe lights
The swans simply glide in the lake alongside playing eye spy through the towering tall reeds
Buttercups sporadically spread breaking up the greens
Herons hiding in wait to see the glistening of scales  
He hopes and he’s praying his catch never fails
Fish flip creating mesmerizing whirlpools on the waters surface
Frogs newts and tadpoles are to nervous so they attend just under the surfaced
Ducks sound like there having a quack attack as they simply chitter chat
Who no’s the topic of the gossip probably a bit of this and that
There dance is more of a glide to allow for chitter chatter so up down around and back
They slide and on occasion they duck their heads down to dive
There arch nemesis the geese glare as they arrive occasionally exchanging a honk or a hiss
But if ducks dare to come to near then it’ll be a nip certainly not a kiss
Blue bells blush upon the green grass dancefloor as the clouds disperse and the blue skies open up for the sun to shine once more
Blackbirds sing high up in the trees there feathers dancing in the breeze
The spring dance truly shows the beauty of  natures world
How lucky we are to enjoy the wonders of this dreamy world.
