Advent of Spring

Advent Of Spring Reemerging sunlight magically illuminate a darkened alpine summit Cloud lingered for an eternity now banished amidst surviving spruce Spores through withered ground sprout anew like a recurring comet Pristine water inundates bank of anonymous river nourishing moose Above urban landscape people taste remnants of a variety of smells Relishing April showers children emulate elfin leprechauns carousing Cabs defying limousines vie for fares portraying overzealous gazelles Memories of winter beneath a bluer sky heralds the advent of spring 01/13/2018 West Palm Beach Florida USA

As ever, you have approached spring from a novel angle ! When most of us gloat on rural landscape, you have delineated the urban life and change with the season's shift ! Beautiful poem Anselmo !

Humans are one of Mother Nature's seeds, and some of us prefer to thrive in congested, overcrowded concrete wildernesses. The peculiarity of Man... As always, your insight is truly sharp Valsa! Thanks, I treasure hearing from you...ab

'Overzealous gazelles' entering a taxicab leaves this reader pondering the universe, both the known and the unknown. Cheers, Gershon
