We Wait

The world awaits with bated breath pause, listen and most all feel there it is, a deep sense drumming in the back ground coming to life. we all feel it, indeed yearn for it insistently wait for it to come then all of a sudden we can feel the gradual warmth winter is defeated. He shies away taking with him the freeze allowing SPRING her rite of passage everything comes back into blossom almost battling each other for its space All around we see new tender leaves feel her warmth stirring things to life watching birds fly to and thro building busily their nests for new hatchlings Riotous notes peel out thrilling us as delightfully they fill the skies. Snow drops fading as crocus fill beds with startling shades of colour. At last we can peel of the extra layers wear our pretty clothes never can we match Spring's awesome display of style Indeed she gayly leads us towards Summer

Its so true, Winter poses a waiting game, suffering the chills in hopes Spring will soon show signs of being on her way. Shadow you have captured all our anticipations for that time, in this adorable poem. I am on a quest today to find hidden gems amongst poets pages. I found this one easily (and read it twice, because I enjoyed it so).

Shadow, your poem is truly magnificent. It possesses a remarkable intellect, skillfully encapsulating the essence of spring as a period marked by rejuvenation, optimism, and elation. Through the masterful deployment of vivid imagery and emotive language, it exalts the splendor and liveliness inherent in the ever-changing seasons, serving as a poignant reminder of life's cyclical nature and the boundless potential for fresh starts.

you've beautifully captured the essence of spring and the hope of renewal....done so through some exquisite imagery. We all feel it, we all yearn for spring's arrival (well said). I especially liked: He shies away taking with him the freeze allowing SPRING her rite of passage everything comes back into blossom almost battling each other for its space I noticed today that the days are getting longer in the sense that we now have sunshine until way past 6 p.m. Hooray. Faving this one..hugs
