Chicks' Day Out in Spring

"Nature is a joy in spring with fresh life and a wonder than at other seasons. The myriad animate and inanimate forms living in nature surprise and delight us. The sight of little creatures taking care of their offspring raises our curiosity and heightens our admiration to the point of emulating them"~ By Poet

The silent snowy winter days are gone. Lively spring has come again. The cool wind brushes past my face Animals from their hide, come out in chain. A mother hen with her happy brood Of newly hatched chicks like balls of wool Is out of her coop for an outdoor hunt, To feed on termites under dry leaves, cool The chicks in self-abandon run and play. Some chase tiny bugs leaping from the grass. Some climb on their mother’s sloppy back. They enjoy the bright day’s cheer en masse. On the other side, bunnies leap and hop, In the hazy mist of the early morning light. They nibble at fresh grass in the meadow. Their sprightliness soaks my heart in delight. . My heartstrings are stretched out tight, As pigeons coo and robins sing, Adding a symphonic rhythm to the air, By the avian ensemble of spring I hear the whisper of fresh-grown leaves, Interrupted by the sweet strains of a meadowlark. On this lovely day, an urge to roam the countryside, Is ignited deep in my heart as a blazing spark.

This is so sweet and i love how your poem celebrates the arrival of spring with exuberance and reverence, reminding us of the wondrous cycle of nature and the promise of new beginnings that it brings with it... rhythmic flow and rhyming scheme contribute to its flow, echoing the harmonious symphony of nature awakening from its winter slumber. The longing expressed by the speaker to roam the countryside reflects the universal yearning to embrace the beauty and renewal that spring brings.

Dear Valsa, your boundless creativity and masterful skill in crafting vivid imagery are truly remarkable! Your language manipulation is effortlessly melodic, and your storytelling prowess is extraordinary. You've perfectly grasped the theme, making it appear easy with your smooth and engaging poetry. Your mention of the arrival of spring at the beginning sets the stage for a captivating rhythmic journey through the rest of the piece.

Wow, what a spring outing for chicks, bunnies and more of their friends. I lived in an urban setting called Meadowlark. History had it, they were plenty, when it was a farm. Now in urban seating, they all have disappeared.
