Ann Peck Poet Personification

Spring

Spring skips along over billowed clouds
peers down at the brown, drying glades,
many trees with branches bare, yet proud
all still in winter masquerade.

"This mustn't be," Spring cries in alarm
"where is the green, but a year ago?"
Sprinkling seeds with a rose flower charm
blows kisses to buds to help them grow.

Leaves smile as a gentle raindrop falls
and Rainbow sits near color-filled cloud
Lightning laughs at Thunder's roaring calls
as Skies celebrate brightly and loud.

Flowers awaken, shake off raindrops
and birds in trees sing curious rhyme.
Fairy Damselfly rests midst green copse
and Butterflies arrive right on time.

Sam Kauffman March 6, 2023 at 2:19 PM What an absolutely charming personification of spring Ann!

Valsa George February 26, 2023 at 7:46 PM A beautiful poem on Spring . I can feel spring arriving in all her grandeur. Ann Peck March 8, 2023 at 12:37 PM Dear Valsa, We've had a whole week of lovely spring, and the small birds have returned but are ignoring the bird hotel I just put up. Humph. Maybe they're waiting for a romance to happen. :) Thanks for commenting.
