Song For Spring

Snow shoaling o'er the frozen land,
so biting, bitter cold; broken branches 
stretched like fingers pointing nowhere 
in particular articulate the miseries 
of winter's stranglehold. 

Spring seems a light year gone,
her gentle breath a dream, but green 
shall conquer white and overcome 
its crushing hold when the crocus 
once reveals her lovely sheen.

I know how much you appreciate rhythm and rhyme, and for the most part so do I. I'm fond of '...particular articulate!' Thanks much!! :) Keith
