Spring Is In the Air

Oh spring! 
 At last you have begun to throw aside your blanket of snow
Now beside the porch the little crocus have begun to grow…
Your breath is slowly melting the winter ice along the creek 
And the warming sun is fading the countenance once so bleak…
Oh spring!
Along the branches come marching a riot of green leaves
Morning sunshine on the pond a magical mosaic weaves
The robin wanders across the lawn, soon he’ll build his nest
An old bear now leaves his den and his long winter’s rest….
Oh Spring!
The promises that winter’s muse has made are coming true
And life on this, our mother earth, is once again  brand new…

It's easy to see how much you enjoy spring, Barbara, and your creative imagery works very well in this poem! Especially enjoyed the "magical mosaic" on the pond and the bear waking from hibernation. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
