Smells of Spring

smells
of
spring
gentle
rain
falling
on 
the 
thirsty
ground
soaking
into
the
brown
barren
ground 
from 
winters
past
bringing
beauty
green
alive
mowed
the
fragrance
lingering
in 
the
air
the 
smells
of 
spring

The one word lines work well and is a creative approach to sharing your thoughts. Nice use of imagery and alliteration. Thank you for all the kind comments on my poetry. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated. Karen

Well, we don't have that quite here yet either, but we don't have snow either thank goodness! Love the affect of this one word line poem. And I am smelling the grass, (probably while sneezing!) But that's ok. Lovely write. Love, Shar

Hi Rhonda We still have about six inches of snow here where I live in Alaska. I can't wait, another 3-4 weeks to go until we get the grass again. Your poem is a beautiful portrait of spring, and I can smell the grass all the way from here ha! Thanks for the smile. Take care hun. Love Light Truth Patricia
