Breath of Spring

I feel her coming, and upon my nape
she’s brushing me! Oh my, I have been kissed!
I know she will get stronger. Then she’ll drape
the trees with all the colors I have missed
since last she visited. How nice she is.
She brings such beauty, and sweet fragrance too.
A bit rambunctious, sometimes she can whiz
right past me, swishing leaves. And skies once blue
might darken then, but when the rains come down,
I know they are her way to bless us more,
for grass that in the winter had been brown
becomes lush green. Come, Flowers I adore -
my pretty Roses – Let the breath of Spring
revive you as the hills with birds’ song ring.

This is very lovely Andrea. My roses are already blooming and going a little crazy. I have been bringing a new bud in every day. We’ve been getting some rain here which I also love. I wanted to write a poem and enter this contest but so far nothing has come to me. I think I am too concerned about getting my income taxes ready for my CPA next week. I am sure this poem will do very well. Blessings xxoo

A sonnet from Queen Andrea is always a sweet gift, but never more than when she is rhapsodizing about the queen of seasons. Love the draping of trees with colors, the rains as a blessing, the flowers returning, and the grand finale of birdsong ringing over the hills. Exquisite, my friend. Adding to my faves.
