Nature's Rebirth

The tulips are blooming out in full array Lifting colorful cups to sway in the breeze, Reds, yellows, and pinks appeared today No longer fearing an early spring freeze. Like a dance troupe they appear in pose A performance anticipated at Eastertide, In beauty rivaling the late summer rose A spectrum of beauty never to be denied While Mother Nature greens the earth, Ethereal whispers glide through the trees Echoing once again spring’s sounds of mirth Everywhere this resurrection the eye sees. FIRST PLACE WINNER written April 24, 2022 submitted to "Spring Rhyme" Poetry Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin
