Notes About The Poem

In Early Spring

In the early spring, the red sun rises 
A warning to sailors of storms on the horizon 
Cold mornings greet us with a shiver 
But warm afternoons embrace us with a kiss 
 
Different hues of green paint the landscape 
As nature awakens from its winter slumber 
Dogwoods bloom in shades of white and pink 
A delicate dance of beauty unfolding 

Star magnolia’s foliage once dotted with white 
Mostly its beauty has on the ground landed 
Months will pass before it again brings delight 
When another first spring day comes so bright 

 The changing seasons bring a sense of renewal 
A reminder of the cycles of life and growth 
In this transition from winter to spring 
We find hope in the promise of new beginnings. 

Written March 20th, 2024....First day of spring

Vijay Pandit March 23, 2024 at 6:41 AM Inspiring spring imagery, Sara. Just the kind of promise we need at the moment when its moodiness is bringing cooler temperatures.

Silent One March 22, 2024 at 12:41 PM Your poem beautifully captures the essence of early spring, painting vivid imagery of the season's arrival and the transformative power it holds. The opening lines, "In the early spring, the red sun rises," immediately draw the reader into the scene, setting the stage for a journey through nature's awakening. Sara Kendrick March 22, 2024 at 2:40 PM Yes, SO. That red sun rising was wonderful even though it has a meaning of bad weather is coming and it has in the form of a gray day with rain all day today. It was so nice to have a nice spring day, but lots of pollen. Sara K
