Chicago Spring

After the dreary, dismal cold days of winter, Bogged down by mounds of snow, Chicago, the indomitable city, Dogged by ears-flapping, bone-chilling winds, Emerges like a blooming flower Fostering liveliness, sensuality, Gaiety and grandiose funfair. Hot, sizzling and sassy summer aside; Invigorating spring first arrives and Jogging along the Lakefront trail or Kicking a soda can down the Magnificent Mile, Life finally emerges from its winter cocoon. Mona Lisa smiles and bright eyes fleeting by, Night life promises a charm of its own with Outdoor patios where cooing lovers linger, Pandering to fans of performing arts and swanky music. Quotidian lives turn into jostling horseplay, Ravishing beds of fragrant shrubs adorn the sidewalks. Spring in Chicago is vivaciously volatile, Temperature, as it rises, so does people's spirits, Under the shadows of imposing skyline or Viewing the serpentine Lake Shore Drive up from Willis Tower's Skydeck, Chicago appears, oh, Xtra beautiful – A spring's paradise! Yellow magnolias, richly painted and sweetly fragrant, Zestfully vying with vibrant clusters of tulips. ~"A Spring Abecedarian" Contest by Shadow Hamilton ~02/19/2015
