Zyrool Gifford Poet Free verse

Spring has awoken

The echoes of Winter are fading from 
view,
Softly, time whispers, out with the old,
make way for the new,
The sun is shining bright, and the sky
 is blue,
Let’s get ready to embrace the gentle
Spring breeze and start anew.

Gardens and open fields are buzzing 
with change,
Watered by Winter’s snow, rising from 
the rich soil are bulbs and seeds of the
hopes we did sow,
Rows and rows of Daffodils, Tulips and 
Bluebells, neatly arranged,
A  vibrant sight of Spring blooms 
a gardener's delight in watching 
them grow.

Birds are singing sweet songs,
The Rivers are flowing freely, 
and rabbits are dancing, oh, what 
a beautiful show,
So let’s join in the Spirit of Spring, 
throw our worries into the last of the 
melting snow, and watch them simply
just go.

Rachel Treacher April 2, 2026 at 10:36 PM Gorgeous ending to 'throw our worries into the melting snow' - what a lovely concept and opportunity to prepare for new. Zyrool Gifford April 12, 2026 at 1:11 PM Hello Rachel, thank you for the read and your kind words. So sorry for the late reply, I wasn’t well. Have a wonderful day my poet friend.

Benjamin Bartley April 26, 2025 at 10:13 AM Hi Zyrool, Wonderful poem for the season. This poem is right above mine (again very close to one another, kinda weird) in the 100 Best New poems this week. Congrats again! And thanks for sharing! I didn't realize it was the same poem. It wasn't there last week. I guess they brought it back or I'm just going nuts. Zyrool Gifford April 26, 2025 at 10:28 AM Hello Benjamin, thank you for giving me such a pick me up news. I much check it out. I must admit I don’t really check that. You’re a star. Sending Blessings your way and wishing you a fantastic weekend my poet friend.
