The Coming of Spring

With winter’s end thankfully imminent The fresh air of spring soon becoming Blackbird and the Thrush in noble song Bumble Bee alone busily humming. Along avenues of scented Lilacs Dry stone walls mingle with the dawning Scattered seeds laze in welcome sunshine Hosts of yellow heads acclaim the morning. Pussy Willow caress the embankment Sweet Bluebells across the valley chime Fragrant hedgerow vibrate to dawn’s tune Once more adding to the memoir of time. © Harry J Horsman 2011

Oh wow, i love the vivid imagery here, such a positive enigmatic write. This is exactly how spring is. I just moved from the country to a big city so this made me a bit homesick as it's perpetually grey here .But i'm going home soon, so it's all good! thankyou xx
