Spring Is Not All

Midst soothing cheers spring has unique features,
It's a grand mixture of vast boons and banes;
The spring sun is a balm for some creatures,
While its burns cause, for others, strains and pains...

Do all plants that come to life bring-in smiles?
Beech, birch, alder, and ash allergies cause;
Though gentle breeze blows in its rhythmic styles,
Don't gales and squalls have deadly claws...?

While sparrows, swallows, and swifts sing songs sweet,
Don't mosquitoes, bugs, and fleas sharply sting?
Reptiles break their hibernation retreat,
Midst butterflies, don't flesh flies too, take wing...?

Spring is, hence, not the sole season at all,
It's just one like winter, summer, and fall...!!!

Spring can be quite a lovely season, but it isn't perfect Chris, just like the other season, its has both, good and bad things to observe about it. Congrats on your win, well written piece, :)

Love the alliteration! Great topic as well, everything has its purpose, but Spring is just as damning as it is a blessing. Cheers!
