The Mikado - The flowers that bloom in the spring




the flowers that bloom
in the spring tra la
breathe promise of merry sunshine
showering warmth on aging hearts
aglow with spring time love




winter and her woes have gone
violets blue  and scented jasmine
trail across the fence
two  hearts bloom blaze 
push through the thaw and
sing sweet messages to each other

  1. I always feel the performers enjoy Gilbert and Sullivan as much as the audience which is quite a British trait especially as their operas are entertaining throughout without so many boring bits as in others I won't mention.

  2. Beautiful image. And how wonderful to be linked with overcoming obstacles and happy endings!

  3. The song made me smile....that is just how spring feels, after a long winter.....we are just sneaking into ours. Enjoy those blooms for us!

  4. We love those sweet messages.. Alice is a bit befuddled by the notion of mice who aren't made of sugar - I said the messages they send however are sweet and nice :)

  5. I had a listen. I still hate Gilbert and Sullivan. (A lifelong failure to appreciate them.) But I do like your poem, which seems to me light-hearted in a much sweeter way!

  6. Makes me want to sing a few "tra la's" myself!

  7. Where is Spring?! We're inundated here in Victoria and the sun seemingly has gone on strike...
    Lovely poem that will have to substitute for the missing season... :-)
