A Date With Spring

Calm Spring Winters dust fades We’ll step out on that date With the symphony of bird song Brushing my cold bones with orange blossoms Above fanfares of daffodils Blowing ripples of warmth No more thermals Calm Spring Date: 21/01/23 Pen a Rictameter, Hopes of Springs return poetry contest HowManySyllables.com Sponsor: M L Kiser

Nicely done. I particularly liked "brushing my cold bones with orange blossoms" and the "symphony of bird song". Lovely

As a preteen new to Maine, we called them zipped-up sleeping blankets--I don't miss that...just my family I had then--effortlessly done, WJ, with my compliments, Aloha William
