Fragrant Freshness

Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air: earthy aromas waft beneath the snow; as sunlight melts away Winter's despair. Daffodils contribute color and flair; and as balmy breezes bashfully blow, Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air. Snowdrifts dwindle to patches barely there; and frozen rivers, once more start to flow, as sunlight melts away Winter's despair. Wildflowers start sprouting up everywhere and as daffodils, and crocuses grow, Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air. The land no longer looks so bleak and bare: on naked trees, green buds begin to show, as sunlight melts away Winter's despair. A treat to the senses, scented and rare: bell-shaped lily-of-the-valley, hang low. Spring adds a fragrant freshness to the air as sunlight melts away Winter's despair.

Emile, your spring Villanelle is absolutely breath-taking. Glad to see it got a good placement in the contest. I loved the picture, too...so stark and yet so promising of the return of spring.
