Melting Away

Winter had us under its icy spell
 As we shivered in the cold
 We were cooped up as snowflakes fell
 As the blizzard took hold

 But now he slips through the icy cracks
 As his frozen realm begins to melt
 Spring has made her way back
 The warmth of her breath is felt

 Winter gives one last icy stare
 As  he slowly disappears
 His reign has come to an end 
 And he vanishes around the bend

 Spring wears a crown of green
 As she spreads blossoms everywhere
 She will now reign as queen
 As nightingales sweet songs we hear

You have painted a pleasant picture with words that tantalize, teas and entertain while they catapult the reader into a fantasy as we experience the passing of winter and the coming of spring. Emile. #7

the title melts my heart. We don't have many frozen scenes in Utah this year, but I am always eager to see the queen of the year appear!!
