Spring Muse
She is elusive, shy, anticipated
by a waiting world - perhaps too much,
in that she hides herself reluctant to
appear - delicate as the first leaves
her gowns of petals now unfold, nascent,
her dormancy no longer secret bursts
forth greenness like a miracle untold
into each imagination.
Maybe the world’s coaxing makes your appearance
worthwhile - for under grassy banks are
daffodils to adorn your hair, sweet, pastel
beauty - you decorate every where,
spring, spring, spring.

I changed this from a free Verse poem to a Blankverse.
Tell me which version worked best, Thanks
First version Here:
S P R I N G M U S E
She is elusive, shy
anticipated by a waiting world
Perhaps too much,
in that she hides herself
reluctant to appear.
Delicate as the first leaves
her gowns of petals unfold
nascent, her dormancy no longer secret
greenness bursts forth like a miracle untold
into each imagination
Maybe the world’s coaxing
makes your appearance worthwhile
Under grassy banks daffodils adorn your hair
Sweet, full range of pastel beauty you decorate
Every where, spring, spring, spring.
