Poem
Spring Sensations by Antony Norcliffe 13 April 2012 And so on to spring the equinox said Earths Axis tilts over from black in to red. Throw forward your clocks and take heed of the soil Sour Cherries and Gardenia are starting to boil. Roll away the grey blanket the equinox spoke Let’s cover this place in a colourful cloak The colours of the rainbow drape over the land Removing the cold and crisp winter’s hand. Take time to breathe deep the equinox said Let the beautiful textures play through your head The smell of the dew on the first day of spring The touch of the grass and to hear the birds sing. Here’s to longer days the equinox cried New born creatures abound and fill farmers with pride. The starlings and blackbirds return from overseas Building new nests in the tallest of trees. Time to open eyes wide the equinox said Watch the ice melt away from the frozen river bed The rivers and streams gurgle from dusk till dawn Icicles drip down splashing lilies and frogspawn. Raise your arms to the heavens the equinox put forth Feel those showers on your skin as its April of course With the sun on your back and the wind in your face Its time for the farmer to plant crops with all haste. And so my work is done the equinox sighed I have created a land that fills me with pride Nature never rests and a new conductor is near Almost time for summer and the Solstice to appear.
