Spring Is In the Air

Shivers from winter’s snowfall and cold,
Please release your season’s devised hold;
Reign winter did with perfect splendor,
Ideal in her unique-styled vigor;
Now I ask that gifts of such weather
Generously bow to spring’s treasure:

Impressive as you are, dear winter,
Surely you hear spring’s vibrant whisper

Issuing word of her arrival,
Necessary for earth’s survival:

Tantalizing, spring teasingly pokes  
Harbingers of her masterpiece strokes
Evoking new heart dreams, bright with hopes:

Ample colors, plus scents of delight,
Implore enchantments of paradise
Root spring’s promise slowly and precise.

Caycay, this was a lovely spring poem that I had somehow missed. It got better and better as I read. I just loved the message in the last two verses. By the way, remember to remove the bold print if you enter it in any of those contests of you know who. Thanks for what you said at that blog!!

Your acrostic shines in the hope that her slow appearance with be a lasting one Caycay. I think it was a brilliant idea to make this entry an acrostic. I loved it and I am sure he will too! ; )

Thank you for such a joy-bubbling comment. I needed that, Line - and I'm taking it. Again, thank you - I saw you're #1 on the Community Builder list. You deserve such, shame there is no prize, but you truly are a consistent and appreciated shower-upper. All the best ... CayCay

My state and the one just north both declared emergency status due to winds that battered, bruised and, in my case, totaled my car. I haven't found the humor yet, but I'm working on it; we were far from home taking brother to rehab without a car, cash or clue. BUT, yes - Spring, she peeks at me and I wink back. Didn't mean to stir concern, Jan - I'm just a numb absorber talking too much with fascinating burn blisters on wrists and palms from air bags. You didn't ask for this, pls know I'm grinning at my babbling idiocy. Love ya ... CayCay not Gay this DayDay

Thanks, Kim - because I doubt I'll place, I did what I enjoy; the challenge of an Acrostic. I had a good time writing this, but not as good a time as I'll have when Spring fully arrives, right? You take care and be well ... CayCay
