Spring's Progression

In early spring some days are cold,
for winter’s loath to break its hold,
still sending winds that bite and sting.
Some days are cold in early spring.

Late April’s here. The earth’s alive.
Green grass, full trees, and flowers thrive.
Sunshine and birds’ songs bring us cheer.
The earth’s alive. Late April’s here.

Comes June’s debut with longer days
and rising heat. To summer’s ways
we soon must bid sweet spring adieu.
With longer days, comes June’s debut.

G'day Janice … spring really is a mixture of cold and warmth; calm and turmoil; sun, rain and storms, but it provides colour, new life and a lift to leave winter behind. Well done Janice - Lindsay
