Walking Jane Austen_____Day 2

I walked Jane Austen

to the library today,

about a mile each way.

As I walked, I stopped

to admire the buds

fat and gilded with color

close to bloom.

I drank the sight of daffodils

gently bent, heavy

with petals soon to unfurl.

The Robins watched

with their wary black eyes,

till we had safely passed them by.

At the library, I traded

Pride and Prejudice

for Mansfield Park,

then Jane and I walked the return.

The trees and the almost flowers

whispered us home.

All along the way

we were followed

by their sibilant sighs.

“Soon.”

Really a pleasure... Spring evoked, and Austen too. Well done.
