We wave goodbye to winter with its ice and frost and snow
That thick blanket on the ground it has melted long ago

The icy fingers of Jack Frost now no longer feel the cold
For brighter days of spring will warm his bones so old

Dull dark days are behind us and the winter chill has passed
Spring is waiting in the wings; golden days are here at last!

Our clocks will soon spring forward and we lose an hour’s sleep
Bright crocuses and tulips through the earth begin to peep

We welcome in the spring, she is dressed in emerald green
She drapes herself on trees where new leaves can be seen

Lambs gambol in the fields oh how I love to see them play
They bounce around so happily on a warm and sunny day

Dainty daffodils dance delightfully in the zephyr breeze
Unfortunately poor hay fever sufferers now begin to sneeze!

Our days are getting longer and the sun begins to shine
Oh how I adore this time of year - our glorious springtime!

Greetings, Jan. I'm dropping by with my congratulations on your wonderful poem, " Celebration Of Spring. " Your imagery creates that happy and dainty feeling of spring. Thank you for your kind comment today. Here in North America, spring is marred by a chilly wind, it feels like winter again. Have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs, Andrew.

Thanks Daniel - I also love daffodils for the beautiful golden colour to brighten our world - I love to see lambs in the field but do admit they are also very nice on my dinner plate!:-) hugs jan xx

Really wonderful imagery Jan. Crocuses and tulips are two of my favorites. Don't see many lambs in the US but they are cute. Congratulations on your placement in the contest. Peace nice lady:)

Lovely transition imagery of winter into spring, Jan. Congratulations on your fine placement. (Would you believe, after a very mild winter with no snow and very early spring, we received 3" of snow overnight!!) Poor flowers! Hope it melts fast. Hugs, Sandra

I do love this time of year Sandra so I really enjoyed writing for the contest - hope the snow melts quickly - it's pretty but it can be a menace!:-) hugs Jan xx
