Spring

’Tis Spring (this is the real title, which I am unable to post this way in the title heading) Rejuvenate! ’Tis spring. Cruel winter’s lost its cling. We wake across this earth To welcome its rebirth. Give praise and with a joyful voice sing. ’Tis time of spring. Rejoice! Reverence with glad noise. In flowered meadows meet To dance with merry feet. Bring lutes, flutes, drums and resonant voice. Reflect. Again. . . ’tis spring. Robin’s on the wing. Lean upon a fruited tree. Hear the drone of honeybee. Breathe the bloom of lovely lilac sprig. ’Tis time. Reconcile. Greet each creature with a smile. As Christ for us bled tears To banish our worst fears, See everyone as God’s dear child. ’Tis season to re-grow. Heed nature’s lead below. Each gift you have to nourish Must be shared to flourish. Replenish bounties God did you bestow. An oldie for Brian Strand's the 'ALL YOURS (Mar 9)' Poetry Contest

I hear ya Andrea..I posted a blog once on this poem title business and I STILL don't understand why you can only put an apostrophe or hyphen in certain places....So this is a ballad huh? Gotta try that form sometime. I understand the first four lines of each verse but not the closing lines. I see three meter in the first lines and four meter in the last lines. Is that the way it works?

Tis the season indeed. So nice to see there's more than one a year. And yes, I resound the comment below about stanza four. You certainly had a song in your heart when you wrote this one Andrea. Thanks for putting one in mine. Peace. :)
