Spring's mystical womb Delivers new bloom Each year With bud and perfume She flees Winter's tomb With cheer, And heeding the call To be Summer's thrall She leaps To spread her green shawl In emerald sprawl Then creeps, Inside Autumn's gown With burnished gold crown And reigns In orange-red-brown. But soon tumbling down She wanes, As Winter winds blow To end her grand show And hide Her last bit of glow Beneath pall of snow— Spring sighed... Then laughed from below "Oh, new embryo— Abide."

The poet brings us back to nature once more to reawaken our taste for its purity and wonder. Very well put with easy flow rhythm and impeccable imagery. Emile. #7

wow, that is impressive. Well done,. Sandra.How I wish I could have bragging rights to being in a magazine like Ideal. that was a beautiful magazine, the kind that MANY people enjoyed, not like the crappy journals of today's high minded free verse poetry that boggles one's mind trying to figure out what they are talking about. I wish I had saved my Ideal magazines. I think my mom threw them out from when I lived at home. Awesome post.
