Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

I Long For the Coming of Spring

Today the cold north wind blows.
  The weather is fierce and wild.
     I long for the coming of the spring
        With fragrant breezes mild.

When gently falling rain
  Encourages buds to bloom
    And fluffly clouds in a clear blue sky
      Dispel the winter's gloom.

I long for the coming of the spring
   When winter is at an end.
      For the soothing warmth of spring
        Will start my soul to mend.





entered in Deborah Guzzi's foreign exchange contest:
this is winter in Canada

Robert Pettit January 9, 2011 at 5:43 PM After just seeing the Eagles lose to the Packers, I am longing for the coming of spring even more. This nice ensemble of descriptive words and rhyming has me anticipating for the start of spring training for the Phillies down at Clearwater, Florida.

Carolyn Devonshire January 8, 2011 at 10:24 PM It's coming, dear. Wish you were here in Florida. Our high tomorrow is supposed to be in the low 70s. It's cool tonight at 44 degrees. When you see the first signs of those buds blooming, I hope all of winter's gloom is behind you. Love, Carolyn
