I woke to the tinkling of melting snow flowing from my roof to the ground below. And a robin's chirp in a nearby tree, sounded like he was serenading me. The rising sun was wearing a warm smile that made my getting up seem all worthwhile. I opened my window to sniff the air, and sure enough, it smelled like spring out there. My yard was dabbled with patches of green, and my snowman had all but fled the scene. Tulips and daffodils poked through the ground, and soon, their floral beauty will abound. A tepid, gentle wind caressed my skin, and I felt the shift in seasons begin. (Couplet) 4/6/2017

When the "snowman had all but fled the scene," it is time for tulips & daffodils to come out to play. I am partial to the yellow fire of forsythia: just wrote a poem and posted it. Wow .... we both thought of spring first arrivals today. Loved the upbeat beat and rhythm, giving us reasonS to get up mornings. amen, Anil
