Early Spring Dawning

Imagine this, a magnificent early spring dawning Dusty rays of golden sunshine glancing through my window, Wakening to discover the natural world yawning Imagine this. I rise to glorious expectations out of limbo With the entire day lying ahead, before me spawning promising unknown joys, perhaps, an afternoon rainbow. Before the splendor of it all, I find myself fawning Ah, thoughts of being alive my emotions overflow, Welcoming a magnificent early spring day's dawning. Imagine this.

Love the challenge of your poem - imagine this! The Rondel is the perfect form for this challenge. Lovely images of the coming day and spring captured in such a creative rhyme scheme LM. Congratulations on your win!

My favorite time of the year. I love warm weather, the beach, etc. I am happiest from April until October in northeastern Kentucky. Fall and winter suck!!! The cold months I try to escape to the Keys, Mexico, or a Caribbean island.
