Ode To Spring

Ode to Spring Lovely lady kisses winter good-bye Then writes her name upon receding snows Her signature flames in rose twilight skies Lingering, she begs daylight not to go Dropping ice bound shrouds of hibernation From her footsteps shakes off the frozen mists Lady, full of grace, soars on swallow’s wings Her monogram stitched into creation, Floral garlands of aromatic twists Autograph this her lyrical dayspring. To blessed spring let us sing out an ave, Rejoicing in rejuvenation sweet With choruses of warmth inspired ballet As beneath sky’s blue metaphor we meet, Herald her return with trumpet flowers And like spring’s troubadours with accolades To chant incensed chimes, floral symphonies, Enter her realm – rest in her sweet bower Lacy shadows recite in light’s parade When snow recedes in robin rhapsodies Capricious imp, coy mischief in your smile, You flirt with summer’s serendipity Teach us to sing the song of spring erstwhile, You enchant us with new epiphany, Endless lady lives through time’s dimensions Bouquets of praise come from our budding boughs, Reflecting Heaven’s sweet spring eternal You charm the spirit with love’s retention Then open wide your full womb to endow Barrenness with victory hibernal. 5-4-22 Contest: Ode Sponsor: Constance La France Topic: Nature Syllables checked with howmanysyllables Rhymes check with rhymezone
