Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Early Spring

Assorted spring flowers, naked, rise in morning sun 
Breaking through a thin blanket of snow, earth spun. 
Cascades of dainty narcissus smile with golden faces 
Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces.

3-6-20

Stanza taken from my poem Wealth of Spring

John Watt March 19, 2020 at 6:04 PM Happy Spring, dear Connie! I see this has "sprung" from an abecedarian poem. It stands alone as a beautiful single rose. "Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces" Hugs/John

Andrea Dietrich March 12, 2020 at 7:25 PM Spring, by the way, feels like it has arrived to Utah. What about Hawaii? People are going mad buying up TP and water here. Give me a break!

Andrea Dietrich March 12, 2020 at 7:24 PM this is a little gem taken from a poem called Wealth of spring!! I agree with you, Connie. I really wish his contest were standard. There are too many good entries. I could never deal with the stress of judging it.
