Blush of Spring by Dawn Crabb (my grandmother) ย ย ย ย Faint light of day creeps over the hill Pale moon hides and all is still Bending blackboys bristle there Green spears flung to the scented air Sea of daisies sweeping high Rainbow riot from the sky Frogs are silent, birds on the wing Bushland is calling,Continue reading “Blush of Spring poem”
