Edward Ibeh Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Beauty That Is Spring

Steady thrums of May rain
   have soddened the evergreen earth,
    and peonies are in full bloom again. 
         Hallelujah! A sublime rebirth.

            The beauty that is spring,  
    as bright and colorful as the rainbow.
         Foxgloves let their bells swing
    as butterflies float about the meadow.

     The sun shining in the noontide sky, 
          so hopeful and illuminating.
    Petrichor swirls in the air like a fruit fly.
    Its scent couldn't be more intoxicating.

         The human race dance with glee 
        to the young spring's piano sonata.
     Music to my ears! Bald eagles soar free
and nightingales compose their dulcet cantata.

               The beauty that is spring,  
       as bright and colorful as the rainbow.
            Foxgloves let their bells swing
      as butterflies float about the meadow.

Emile Pinet May 9, 2020 at 10:25 AM Congratulations Edward! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest. Your poem reminded me of all that I’m missing out on this spring, well done my friend. Edward Ibeh May 9, 2020 at 10:38 AM Thank you very much for placing me, Emile!:-) What an honor!

Andrea Dietrich May 3, 2020 at 2:50 PM Spring truly is the MOST beautiful of all the seasons. So what is YOUR generation, Edward. I am thrilled you enjoyed my poem on the last of the baby boomers. I think you stand a great chance in the spring contest with this gem. Edward Ibeh May 3, 2020 at 6:54 PM I agree 100%! Spring is a gorgeous season. Not my favorite--Autumn is--but the most dazzling, for sure. I grew up in the 80s. Thanks, Andrea:-) I hope Emile likes it enough to place it!

Timothy Hicks May 2, 2020 at 12:28 PM I've haven't read much of your poetry, Edward, but this is my favorite of yours so far. VERY poetic. "Petrichor swirls in the air like a fruit fly" << the star of the show! Best of luck in the contest, my friend. Edward Ibeh May 2, 2020 at 2:42 PM Thank you so much, Tim:-) Glad you liked this poem!
