Winter's End

Spring waits, as Winter slowly looses its grip upon the land Water begins to drip from eves and green peeks through the graying snow A bear wakes and stretches, and remembers how to be a bear

Great poem Barbara ~ I feel like the bear every spring. Canadian winters tend to block out the sun ;)

I LOVE this one, Barbara. I do not know much about sijo, but I imagine this would be a good example of how to do a great one. FAVE

Love the bear's point of view...must take a day or too to clear the head after a long sleep which I wouldn't mind trying.

The words sound good and paint a many colored canvas of sights and sounds that the reader can relate to. Emile.
