Spring Salutations

Spring Salutations

Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair
Stretch your arms up and out wide
lookup at the sunny sky

Bend down to pick bright red roses and blue flowers
beware of tiny honeybees and crawlers
The sun is out smiling
while bluebirds, robins, and yellow finches are flying

Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair
Bears emerge from hibernation
it’s time for a happy celebration

New life grows and awakens
earth’s wonder and birth cannot be mistaken
Springtime is finally here
greet it with a warm welcoming cheer

Breathe in the air
let it flow through your hair

Congratulations Anabel! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. Your poem was bittersweet because it reminded me of all the things I’m missing out on this spring, well done my friend.
