Ode to Spring

Courtney Burke 

Carrying wine and flowers in a basket 

I adore this springtime symphony 

With love letters in my pocket 

 

And lots of fruit and berry punnets 

Of course, I had to get my coffee 

With wine and flowers in a basket 

 

I’ll lay out a picnic blanket 

With bread, biscuits, and cheese 

And love letters in my pocket 

 

Sunflowers yellow and roses of scarlet 

The very things this day embodies 

With wine and flowers in a basket 

 

I’ve got my silver locket 

Which I wear so lovingly 

And love letters in my pocket 

 

French films and farmers’ markets 

Crepes with apples and toffee 

Wine and flowers in a basket 

And love letters in my pocket
