Spring

spring sprawls across frozen hills
to new songs of songbird trills
sweeping away ice and snow
blessings in bloom - feel the thrill

Dear Sam, The transition from the "frozen" to the "songbird trills" creates a wonderful auditory shift, moving me into a world of melodic movement. It doesn't just wake up it bursts forth with a joyous, sweeping intent. Blessings, Sam, Daniel

If this isn't poetry, I'll eat my ... well, my chocolate chip cookies, no, I'm going to down those anyway. BEAUTIFUL, already a winner to me. I've been away but not gone and it's good to read you again. This rolls so naturally.
