Just Another Spring Day

As I walk out
The twin girls in my neighborhood 
Give me double smiles 
They're getting ready for school 

Golden dawn 
Streets deserted 
A light spring rain 
Feels refreshing 

On the sidewalk 
I see a woman 
With beautiful eyes 
Blue like the sea 

I cross a lingerie shop 
And a parlor--Lemon Beauty Care 
Both closed 
This early in the morning 

I'm halfway through my walk 
The fading moon gives silver smiles 
The sun's orange progress is good today 
Winter is gone with its ice follies 

Plants and trees are giving out love calls 
Butterflies are dancing from flower to flower.

Written for dverse where Merril is hosting Tuesday Poetics.

Prompt

Merril says, “Below you will find some names of daffodil varieties. Choose at least 3 words/phrases to use in your poem, but you may choose more. If the name is more than one word, you must use both words. There is no required form or length. Your poem does NOT have to be about daffodils or spring, and there is no restriction on form, style, or subject. I’m eager to see what poems spring from these words!”
