Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

New Beginnings

N ature calls and our attuned hearts gently quiver
E choes across the land harmonized so sweetly resonate 
W anderlust a scent we recognize akin to magic in the air

B eguiling youth of spring blessings revealed around each corner
E cologically mastering a symphony of jittery bumblebees and butterflies
G ardens sumptuously await with their panoply of aromas and bouquets
I ntoxicating one and all with april wild perfumes imbued on every breeze
N esting mates parade with glee their loving ways before us 
N othing ever will compare to the bustling effervescent bucolic awakenings
I mpromptu meetings where lovers intersect by chance to find romance
N ever doubting the universe is on their side complicit that all the stars align
G randiose the scheming and the interplay of God’s divine cosmic machinery
S easons come and seasons go but spring’s the one that stirs the butterflies in me

What a magnificent write Line, would have been higher if not for spelling error line 6. Thanks for this excellent entry, I think one of your best write yet!

Simply "intoxicating" Line. I love the "attuned hearts," "land harmonized," and "wanderlust a scent we recognize." All is one with the coming of spring. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings to you!
