Liz Walsh Poet Imagism

Bring On Spring

I am cold to my bones
The winter this year unsettled me
Freezing snow went on too long
Aging stiff thoughts 
Overpowered my normal optimism
I dream of buds bursting with life
I dream of swallows making their journey
I anticipate the energy of spring
These thoughts warm me.

Carolyn Devonshire January 15, 2011 at 7:51 AM The harshness of winter can make people feel very dreary, Liz. Spring and fall are the best times of the year. Here in Florida it's the summers that seem endless. Your point is well taken in this well composed poem. Love, Carolyn
