This week Silver Valley Girl gave the sibling assignment :
Listen to this piece of music: Vivaldi’s Concerto for Violin, and write what you hear. You will find
her's here soon, and Raymond
Pert's here.I listened to it many times and as I observed the activity out the window it reminded me of a concerto playing as spring tries to arrive. Yesterday I read
Tumblewords post for
Sunday Scribblings and loved her poem which I learned was called an
abecedarian. I decided to take the piece of music and experiment with
abecedarian.
Concerto for Early Spring
After winter
Bulbs began to awaken
Crocus do the maiden voyage
Despite the snow.
Ever hardy daffodils emerge,
Forsythias' buds begin to swell
Giving us hope for early spring.
How long before we till the earth?
Ice still covers the pond,
Just a bit of snow remaining in the garden plot,
Knowing birds are now being sighted,
Longer days begin,
Morning sun has shifted,
Nests will soon be constructed
Over the wedding garden.
Presiding over the concerto the
Quail quickly cross the road,
Robins look for worms,
Starlings return to their same house
Too high to tempt the cats.
Until this season arrives
Very soon I hope
We'll sit by the fire
X-tremely excited for a change while
Yearning for shades of yellow and green
Zigzagging through the yard.

I discovered we have another Gonzaga Bulldog fan in the house. Isabelle took a moment from reading the latest news on the Zags in the sport page of the Spokesman-Review to have her picture taken. Isabelle predicted the Zags would win the semi-final game tonight moving them closer to the WCC title.
