#2021NPM April 5 Redux: "Outside My Window"

Welcome to 2021 National Poetry Month. It's my fifteenth year of participating (some years better than others).  
This year I'm taking a look at some previous poems that I enjoyed and will be revising.  Some have been on the blog before and others not.  
I have  five great interviews lined up:
April 2 POETRY FRIDAY: ALLAN WOLF
April 9 POETRY FRIDAY: LISA FIPPS
April 16 POETRY FRIDAY: CHRIS BARON
April 23 POETRY FRIDAY: JOANNE ROSSMASSLER FRITZ
April 30 POETRY FRIDAY: LITA  JUDGE

I love getting books into the hands of readers so there will be prizes for stopping by and saying hi.

CONFESSION:  I am posting a day late.  But thanks to the time travel ability of posting, it will look like Monday.

In 2009, In respond to a prompt by Tricia’s , she asked for a poem "outside my window".  I wrote a pantoum in response:

outside my window
the language of spring speaks
tulips dance in the breeze as
bee symphony plays a concerto
the language of spring speaks
poppy poems emerge from the soil
bee symphony plays a concerto
industrious blue jays build their nest
poppy poems emerge from the soil
daffodils bow heads in prayer
industrious blue jays build their nest
as dogwood buds burst onto the stage
daffodils bow heads in prayer
fiddle heads unfurl, frog croaks for its mate
as dogwood buds burst onto the stage
morning sun cascades through the trees
fiddle heads unfurl, frog croaks for its mate
tulips dance in the breeze as
morning sun cascades through the trees
outside my window

Today I used the words from this 2009 poem to create a Reverso poem. I also updated some lines to reflect where I live now.

outside my window
spring speaks at dawn
bees buzz-buzz-buzz a concerto
red-winged blackbird answers, conk-la-ree
tulips sway in the breeze
poppy poems emerge from winter soil
black-capped juncos gather twigs
red flowering currant bursts into bloom
I sip tea, Scottish Fraoch
and write morning pages
I write morning pages
and sip tea, Scottish Fraoch
red flowering currant bursts into bloom
black-capped juncos gather twigs
poppy poems emerge from winter soil
tulips sway in the breeze
red-winged blackbird answers, conk-la-ree
bees buzz-buzz-buzz a concerto
spring speaks at dawn
outside my window
