Spring Is In the Air




Take off your woolen scarf and coat.
Your hood conceals your pretty hair!
Now chance for snow grows more remote!
Breathe easy. Spring is in the air.

The flu; the cold; let them be gone!
Let flowers decorate your lawn.
Pick some for me, their scent to share.
Breathe easy. Spring is in the air.

For those who’ve slipped on ice or snow,
or - stuck on icy roads - moved slow,
the goddess Eostre heard your prayer!
Breathe easy; spring is in the air.

Throw down your shovel. Say goodbye
to snow ploughs too, for from the sky
comes rain, but mostly skies are fair!
Breathe easy! Spring is in the air.

From your poem, I think you may be ready to put away the snow boots !! I don't blame you!!! I'm sure by March, you are well and done with it all. (We only get a few days of light snow each year here.....so actually we kind of enjoy it ) But I am a sunshine girl too !! Congratulations on your poem!!

Bounce on a spring and will spring into the air like all of the flowers that are springing fourth. By the 4th may have died.

Great form built around weather changes accompanying spring. Had not heard of the goddess Eostre even though I am partially German. Love repeating lines in any form. Thanks for sharing this, Andrea.

Excellent Andrea! I know he will love your entry. I wrote a sonnet for it. Your repeating line 'spring is in the air' is what will put this over the top I think. Brilliant! : )
