Spring Is In the Air

Oh spring! At last you have begun to throw aside your blanket of snow Now beside the porch the little crocus have begun to grow… Your breath is slowly melting the winter ice along the creek And the warming sun is fading the countenance once so bleak… Oh spring! Along the branches come marching a riot of green leaves Morning sunshine on the pond a magical mosaic weaves The robin wanders across the lawn, soon he’ll build his nest An old bear now leaves his den and his long winter’s rest…. Oh Spring! The promises that winter’s muse has made are coming true And life on this, our mother earth, is once again brand new… 3/15/19 Spring is in the Air contest Emil Pinet Sponsor

It's easy to see how much you enjoy spring, Barbara, and your creative imagery works very well in this poem! Especially enjoyed the "magical mosaic" on the pond and the bear waking from hibernation. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
