Stirrings of Spring

~ Stirrings of Spring ~

  a bright-eyed bud 
  on a mulberry bush

  a robin's chirping 
midst the melting slush

  fresh tulip leaves
push up through the earth

All these, to pangs of love 
  in my soul, give birth

Gershon, this is as tender as new life in spring - fragile leaves, delicate blossoms, new songs from returning birds and, of course, love! This poem captures the bright joy of a birthing world! Congratulations on your win!

And I think... suppose I’d better get the lawnmower out. Nice write, Gershon. Congrats on your win. Terry

Gershon, You still have that magic in verse my friend. No one felt a finer Spring, and no other wrote more deeply, in pangs of love. -Richard
