Spring In Georgia

You never did see spring down here With Bradford pear in full bridal wear. Redbuds in attractive bridesmaid attire Painting the scene with glorious fire. You never saw the daffodils make merry Laughing at the exuberant pink cherry. Light hearted pansies giggling through the day As boisterous squirrels come out to play. Stately trees don their cloaks of soft hued green Multi-colored birds that twitter and preen. Everything getting ready for their chance To be invited to springs celebration dance. And yet I sense your presence on the breeze Hear your soft whisper in the rustling trees. I'll never know why you set your spirit free, Sure wish you could savor this spring with me.

This poem flow very well and is quite descriptive. Your words certainly paint a wonderful picture. The shift in the last stanza is the surprise in the poem. I like the message. I also am wondering why. Great job! ~Joseph PS: I am progressing okay; however, I still have some minor problems! If you would like to email me, the address is spencej4@yahoo.com.

I am so far away from Georgia, but this beautiful poem helped me find my way there! Lovely! It's not spring right now, however, it felt like spring as I read your beautiful words. Blessings...Carrie
