Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Joseph's Refrains in 8 Contest ~ ~ March 12, 2025

As Winter Bows to Spring

Frigid days are disappearing
Gloomy graphite skies are clearing
Robins are sighted on the wing
   As Winter bows his head to Spring

Leaves appear on maples and oaks
There's no need for warm woolen cloaks
Balmy weather, Nature will bring
   As Winter bows his head to Spring

Crocus blooms rise above the ground
Cricket chirps are a welcome sound
It is the season of birthing
   As Winter bows his head to Spring

Bees will start to harvest nectar
Task of a pollen collector
Beware the needle of their sting
   As Winter bows his head to Spring

Terry Flood March 21, 2025 at 12:15 PM A smashing uplifting glimpse into spring after what seems like a near eternal winter. A most worthy top billing. Congrats, Lin. Terry

Duke Beaufort March 14, 2025 at 6:02 PM Lin, you hit the seasonal change highlights with precision. I can think of each one of these and stop and smile. It's a chance to be lifted in steps. Thanks!! Lin Lane March 21, 2025 at 8:44 AM You have made me smile with so many of your comments, and this one is no exception. Thanks so very much, Duke.

Gary Radice March 13, 2025 at 4:30 AM Interesting and possibly quite boring fact to compliment a fantastic poem: the warmest spring in the UK since records began was actually last year..the average daytime temp was 9.4 degrees. I love spring..more so since the winter we’ve just had. Nice one Lin. Cheers - Gary Lin Lane March 13, 2025 at 5:21 AM That’s a Spring temperature? Brrr. Thanks for your complimentary remarks, Gary.

Jan Allison March 12, 2025 at 5:12 PM we had a lovely spring day Lin so i can relate to your lovely poem - no crickets chirping here but lambs are gambolling in the fields, it was cold but sunny - then we had rain, then we had hail! March certainly biting us in the bum! hugs Jan xx Lin Lane March 13, 2025 at 5:20 AM Weather here has been as perfect as it can be for pre Spring. Weird though that it snowed this year. Thanks, Jan.

Yann Rolland March 12, 2025 at 4:43 PM great and warm poetry, i loved the "motto" and your melodious poetry, thanks poet Lin Lane March 13, 2025 at 5:18 AM Thank you, Yann. I wrote that line first and the other fell into place much easier.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 12, 2025 at 11:47 AM - Winter is long and cold... but, it must bow to spring... and I am ready :) - A lovely poem, Lin :) - Best wishes for the contest :) - hugs Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 11:50 AM your climate in so unlike mine.

Paula Goldsmith March 12, 2025 at 10:43 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. Great Picture... Spring is on the way. Hooray!!! "Good Luck" Have a wonderful day writing away............... Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 11:49 AM Thanks, Paula. You give so much of your time to making comments. That's a grand gesture.

Terrell Martin March 12, 2025 at 10:20 AM Hi Lin, so glad you found me earlier having read and commented on my poem, "On Walking." Which brought me here to this beautiful poem "As Winter Bows to Spring." I love the rhyme scheme and imagery, but the final verse is icing on your poetic cake. Thank you again for the earlier visit and by the way, we're neighbors. I live down here in Houma but used to live (grew up) in Florida. Kudos, Terrell Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 10:38 AM Thank you, Terrell. I remember you telling me you were from Houma. There was a period of time when you weren't here, so I wondered if you'd left the site.

Frederic Parker March 12, 2025 at 9:14 AM I do miss Spring, I live in Florida, it's always Spring Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 9:17 AM I know what you mean... my winter's are mild in New Orleans.

Zyrool Gifford March 12, 2025 at 9:10 AM Hello Lin, enjoyed reading your beautiful piece on bidding winter farewell and bringing Spring to view. A lovely picture you painted. Have a wonderful day my friend. Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 9:17 AM Hello, Zyrool. Thank you very much for your kind remarks.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 12, 2025 at 8:55 AM Gorgeous poem. Spring is my thing, I live for it. Still a lot of snow here, but I saw my first geese yesterday! xomo Lin Lane March 12, 2025 at 8:59 AM They're coming home to roost. Strange weather this year. We had a foot of snow in New Orleans... that's unheard of. Thanks for liking these lines, Mo.
