Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

The Birth of Spring - Constanza

April graces us with showers, 
As cold snows melt, their wintry scene
Is changed to many shades of green.

From tender shoots, soon, Spring flowers,
Apollo's face is golden fair...
The scent of spring is in the air.

As blossoms float down from bowers
When gusts of April breezes blow, 
They spread below like golden snow.

Then in delight I watch for hours, 
For truly at this time of year
I feel God's presence dwelling here.

Blessed and touched by divine powers.
The joy of springtime here on Earth
Is felt with every flower's birth.

April graces us with showers, 
From tender shoots, soon, Spring flowers,
As blossoms float down from bowers
Then in delight I watch for hours, 
Blessed and touched by divine powers.

The poem itself is elevated by its lovely imagery; nature reflects God's beauty! #7 hugs // paul Connie Marcum Wong March 5, 2015 at 1:56 PM Thank you very much Paul.

Richard Lamoureux July 6, 2014 at 9:27 AM Beautiful! I tried your form Connie. I modified the tense in the last stanza so it is not perfect but it does follow the spirit of your form.
