Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Springtime in the Tropics

The tropics hum with springtime's endless song,
Where blossoms paint the days vibrant and long.
Sweet perfume drifts, a gods' fragrant delight,
A feast for the senses, day and through night.

Pansies flash colors, a rainbow unfurled,
Daffodils tremble, in sunlight pearled.
Dandelions twirl, their seeds taking flight,
Bluebells ring softly, fading with twilight.

Emerald meadows ripple beneath your feet,
The air whispers secrets, humid and sweet.
Tree branches shelter, a dappled embrace,
Coolness descends in this sun-kissed space.

Springtime eternal, a tropical boon,
Where nature's orchestra plays its sweet tune.
