Spring Is Coming Soon

Snowy fields are disappearing fast, Patches of green are starting to last. Robin redbreasts are the first to nest, Indicating we'll soon see the rest. Northern winds morph into warm breezes, Gently ensuring life unfreezes. Ice starts to thin in the streams and lakes, Shuttering and groaning as it breaks. Cold nights warm as longer days begin, Offering spring a chance to creep in. Migrating geese head home, as they fly In numbers so great, they fill the sky. Noisy honks seem to propel them forth, Growing louder as they head back north. Smelts and trout swim up rivers and creeks, Only spawning for a few short weeks. Odors take on a sweet earthy smell, Now, wafting from where daffodils dwell. (Acrostic) 3/19/2017
