Celebration Contest
Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton


Whisking flakes fluttering as the icicles start to melt
I'll never forget how the accumulation of snow felt
Natural cool air underneath the wearing of gloves
Time for gramma's hot chololate that I've always loved
Equator shifts and brings forth a winter solstice
Roses are almost here and so are my blooming hostas

Set my clock ahead as we all lose an hour of sleep
Picturesque and perfect bouncing into Spring with a leap
Radiant sun peaks through and shines for more hours
Inches of rain showers nourishing my precious flowers
Navy beans, chives and tomatoes grow with fascination
Green peas and peppers growing within my vegetation

From snowmen to butterflies, two mysteries of the natured mother, and icicles melting into fresh topiary creating a masterpiece, with day lilies, tulips and daffodils in my garden covered, I let them grow, then cut them fresh making a splendid centerpiece. icicles melting sprinkles of April showers gorgeous scenery ~Date Written : March 26, 2016~
