Notes About The Poem

Spring Is In the Air

Oh, yes, I feel that spring is in the air!
   Though winter's letting go with stubborn care,
our spring dissolves new snow, so debonair,
   assured that winter knows it cannot share;
of springtime's warmer sun it is aware.

As days are getting longer, we prepare
   to welcome spring with spirited fanfare;
clean up the yard while we look everywhere
   for waking buds that very soon will bear
new leaves and blossoms and their space declare.

Those varied pastel colors will add flare
   to walkways and small gardens as we stare
at long-awaited beauty...springtime's prayer;
   her new rebirth as winter's aftercare...
on time each year...miraculous affair.

Perhaps each season's a concessionaire;
   each one provides the best for Earth's welfare.
Some color scenes are full, some leave them bare...
   but springtime seems the best beyond compare!
Oh, yes, I feel that spring is in the air.

This is a marvelous mono rhyme Sandra. It does not read like a mono rhyme because of your carefully chosen words. Each line blends so well with the next. This is amazing my friend. Bravo! Blessings xxoo

A monorhyme is so difficult, but you have risen to the occasion and made it seem effortless, Sandra. WOW!
