All around our hedgerows and gardens Buds are forming bringing brilliant Colour into our lives where previously Dreary winter darkness lurked. Everywhere new life is forming Fields are bouncing with spring lambs Gamboling about with their friends. Hyacinths sensational scent fills the air I simply love this time of year Just bursting with new life Knowing that spring is finally here Lightens my spirits and Makes me smile Nesting birds collect food for fledglings Only pausing for tiny breaks. They are Perfect parents who work tirelessly Quietly and lovingly Raising their beautiful brood who are Soon to leave the nest Trees become dressed in gorgeous green Until they are fully clothed Verdant vegetation covers the land With new crops growing Xanthic coloured daffodils Yearn for spring sunshine and merrily they Zigzag in the warm winds 02~14~15 Contest Abecedarian - Shadow Hamilton Submitted to Abecedarian contest sponsored by Caren Krutsinger

Thanks Rick - I never picked up a pen and wrote a poem until my hubby got cancer and had surgery in Nov 2013 - I wrote my first poem on that day and have learned so so much and now its like a drug. I need to write - its got me through the worst time in my life... if you read some of my poems especially around Dec 2014 when my sons 2 friends died and my dad was dying from terminal cancer... I am now planning to self publish a book of my funny poems:-) hugs Jan xx

Lovely spring thoughts, Jan. Can't wait until all this ice and snow disappears in S. Indiana. Things are hatching underneath. Congratulations on a fine abecedarian poem.
