First Day Of Spring March twentieth, the first day of our spring, though fickle she may be, buds start to stir. The soothing breezes and sun's warming fling bring magic as rebirthing will confer to push the reign of winter out of sight; repaint the scenery with tints of green, and set the stage for shows of spring's delight as her soft haze of new growth can be seen. Heard are the chirps of birds with hopeful songs of romance as they relish spring's new glow. All creatures stir from winter sleep in throngs, and brooks are bubbling full, from melted snow. On this first day of spring...what joy we feel... with reborn earth, new life, new hope, new zeal! Sandra M. Haight ~4th Place~ Premiere Contest: Spring Is In The Air Sponsor: Emile Pinet Judged: 03/05/2018

Sandra, I love all the images in your delightful spring sonnet. Perfect meter and form as well and it was a strong contender for first place. There were some wonderful entries in this category. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn

Oh, thank you, Carolyn! I am grateful for your nice comments and placement. It must have been very difficult to judge, but I think the four 1st place winners were excellent choices in their categories with very creative approaches! It was a fun contest, and thank you again for you all you do to create such interesting contests. Hugs, Sandra

Yes, indeed, Carrie. We are expecting another nor'easter tomorrow with perhaps 12" plus of snow here in the Hudson Valley, NY (about 60 miles North of NYC). We had 70 degree temps a little over a week ago! Thank you for the lovely comment and congrats! Hugs, Sandra

Lovely pictures in words so wonderful. Best wishes for the contest because it is my least favorite season so I can't come up with a kind word.
