Song For Spring

Snow shoaling o'er the frozen land,
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!

We are expecting a few more inches of snow tomorrow and I do enjoy winter's beauty, but the first signs of spring are also a welcome sight!... This was a lovely poem to read. I really enjoyed it's imagery! Nicely done, Keith!

Thanks Kelly... my favourite phrase? '...particular articulate.' Best wishes, Keith
