September Spring

Tui birdsong starts again, melodious warbling 
              bitter southerly wind still bites 
              sleet, horizontal and cold, flattens the daffodils
sudden rays of bright warm sunshine 
race over paddocks
              vivid green grass juxtaposes clear blue sky
Earth warms

This is gorgeous poetry, and if I had not been looking more for memories instead of September descriptions, I think it would have got a top placement!

Thanks Andrea, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it. You're absolutely correct, it didn't really fit the brief, but I couldn't help myself and entered it anyway :)
