Ode To Spring - Villanelle

Soft shoots spring gently forth from the earth They look to the sky with their open face After the cold winter comes springs rebirth New buds on trees grow for all their worth Each day they welcome the suns warm embrace Soft shoots spring gently forth from the earth The sparrows and robins have all given birth And nature wakes up at a slow walking pace After the cold winter comes springs rebirth The daffodils now open their face full of mirth And crocuses blossoms all over the place Soft shoots spring gently forth from the earth Natures bright canvas spreads forth its girth Apple blossoms fragrant blooms now race After the cold winter comes springs rebirth The warmth of the sun providing safe berth For all creatures of the wood or open space Soft shoots spring gently forth from the earth After the cold winter comes springs rebirth

Thanks, I'm still new to ps. Most of my poems are about nature as I'm surrounded by the beauty of it.

I'm still getting used to this website and I don't know if I have replied to you earlier, anyway, thank you for your kind comments. I am a retired widower living in Swansea, Wales with a 9 year old yellow Labrador called Clara and enjoy writing about the nature I see all around me.
