Spring

Spring
As Dark-Eyed Junco birds head north I know, you’re not far behind with warmer weather in tow.
With an experienced artist’s colorful brush, you skillfully paint away winter’s gray slush.
Bringing sweet sunshine and cleansing rain, ravaged Earth you renew with rainbows again.
Crocuses yellow and white are brightly blooming, oh my goodness, you are absolutely amazing!
Even the rhythmic tap, tap, tap of woodpeckers tell me you are here – what mesmeric music to my ears.
Wrens return building nests and spreading their wings, flying high in your blue skies as they joyously sing.
Coming alive at the wave of your magical wand, my elated heart soars and I feel superbly grand.
I love your cool breath so fresh and tender, and light butterfly kisses that you gently render.
But my dearest Spring, as much as I enjoy being with you, I have a jealous lover, Summer - so this has to be adieu.

My dear Pandita, I was swept up and away by the enchanting imagery of your beautiful personification of Spring. Your last couplet's twist made for an excellent finale. Congratulations on your wonderful placement in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes and hugs always, my lovely friend.. ~Susan

What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.
