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
