Sight of Winter and Spring

The ice sheets on lakes are slowly thawing;
the sight resembles a glass separating
the water world from the dry world.

Green is gradually dominating the white
that covered the trees.

Snowmen are slowly disappearing,
melting away into the earth.

Icicles glitter like diamonds in the faint
sunlight, glowing in the midst of clouds.

Legends about snow monsters and snow people
are losing taste to children;
they want stories about mysteries
that spring carry with it.

Earth oozes with the scent of rebirth.

Easter bunnies are appearing everywhere
in the shops,
their Easter eggs surpassing chicken eggs
in numbers.

We are in Winter and Spring...

Hi Teddy, I agree with T.J. about the Spring but i do have a Love for the winter months also. Winter where the world sleeps in a white cocoon, Spring, when it wakens into life once more. All seasons, nature in her glory. I Love the words Teddy, the images, this one goes into my faves....Vlad.
