Being a Mum the poem I have chosen comes from a children's book by Shirley Hughes.
Deciding on a poem was difficult as J has lots of books with lots of poems but this one seems appropriate for the time of year as does the illustration above so I will read it with J later....
COMING SOON
"Spring is coming! With promising patches
of blue; and sunlight suddenly catches
A gleaming rooftop, where sparrows in batches
Flirt and flutter and pipe up snatches
Of hopeful song;
And windows are opened on stuffy rooms,
There's a shaking of mats and a flurry of brooms.
And it's lighter in the longer afternoons,
And boys on bikes whistle cheerful tunes.
It won't be long!"
