Spring

Spring skips along over billowed clouds peers down at the brown, drying glades, many trees with branches bare, yet proud all still in winter masquerade. "This mustn't be," Spring cries in alarm "where is the green, but a year ago?" Sprinkling seeds with a rose flower charm blows kisses to buds to help them grow. Leaves smile as a gentle raindrop falls and Rainbow sits near color-filled cloud Lightning laughs at Thunder's roaring calls as Skies celebrate brightly and loud. Flowers awaken, shake off raindrops and birds in trees sing curious rhyme. Fairy Damselfly rests midst green copse and Butterflies arrive right on time. February 21, 2023 for Joseph May's "In Bloom" contest First

What an absolutely charming personification of spring Ann! We see in your words the compassionate heart of spring pining over "brown" where green lived "just a year ago." So clever and creative! Congratulations on your top win! Blessings of spring to you!

Dear Valsa, We've had a whole week of lovely spring, and the small birds have returned but are ignoring the bird hotel I just put up. Humph. Maybe they're waiting for a romance to happen. :) Thanks for commenting.

"And Butterflies arrive right on time"... What a lovely spring image to behold as we are still in the midst of winter... Your poem, with it's delightful imagery and wonderful rhymes, was a joy to read this afternoon! Well done, Ann! My best wishes for the contest!

Love the spritely feel of this, Ann, especially the last stanza, still waiting for my butterflies to arrive :)
