Andrea Dietrich Poet Personification

Goddess Spring

With gladness I am drawn to a rosy dawn
and looking up to where white clouds are swirled
in heaven’s skies, I see before my eyes
the goddess of a blossoming new world.

As mountain streams come flowing, wind is blowing
her shining hair. Enchantress of the wild,
she twirls a gown of green round hills and meadows.
How beautiful is she, this woman-child!

When she disrobes to shower, fruit trees flower.
She blows a kiss, and birds begin to sing.
On whispering breeze, she sways and warms the days.
New life smells sweet. We greet the Goddess Spring.

Linda Alice Fowler March 6, 2023 at 3:25 PM The woman-child goddess came through here last week Andrea, and my fruit trees are blooming. So nice to see these early signs of Spring and so nice to read your poem. Congratulations on your win! :)

Robert Warlov February 25, 2023 at 2:33 PM I like the way rhymes (internal) 'trip-over' one another. Not easy to produce but very satisfying if successful. If you follow the adage: "Write 'till lightning strikes", for this, it is apropos. ;)

Joanna Daniel February 24, 2023 at 8:31 PM This is simply amazing, Andrea, love your use of internal rhyme:)

Tom Cunningham February 24, 2023 at 12:51 AM She can't come quick enough, already signs here of its welcome approach. Good luck in the contest. Tom
