Sock It To Me Spring

O breezy Spring leaves,
Show-offs of stupendous beauty.
Your breathtaking heights
and swooning low brights,
Puffy delights
As you bud and sway.
You delightfully chill me
Goosebumps on arms
and brace.
Fingertips are nearly blue,
brazenly so on this Spring-a-ling day.
An open space,
front door unhinged,
ready to be sanded and stained.
I’ll swing a jacket
about my shoulders
and sock up my feet.
Sock it to me, Spring!
I will spring into action
that is if
I can retract my wiggly fingers
back from the letters
leaping onto white space.
Reminds me of the swoosh of beach -
its tremendous peaks.
Not a damaging Spring
      but quite mischievous!

This is a delightful celebration of the arrival of spring! Your words dance like the breeze through freshly blooming leaves, capturing the exuberance and energy of the season. I love how you weave together sensations of cold and warmth, from the Goosebumps on arms to the nearly blue fingertips, compared with the anticipation of outdoor activities and the playful imagery of sanding and staining a front door.. It's a joy to read such evocative and vibrant verses.
