Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Metamorphosis of Spring

Spring's mystical womb
Delivers new bloom
Each year
With bud and perfume
She flees Winter's tomb
With cheer,

And heeding the call
To be Summer's thrall
She leaps
To spread her green shawl
In emerald sprawl
Then creeps,

Inside Autumn's gown
With burnished gold crown
And reigns
In orange-red-brown.
But soon tumbling down
She wanes,

As Winter winds blow
To end her grand show
And hide
Her last bit of glow
Beneath pall of snow—
Spring sighed...

Then laughed from below
"Oh, new embryo—
Abide."

Andrea Dietrich May 8, 2015 at 9:39 PM wow, that is impressive. Well done,. Sandra.How I wish I could have bragging rights to being in a magazine like Ideal. that was a beautiful magazine, the kind that MANY people enjoyed, not like the crappy journals of today's high minded free verse poetry that boggles one's mind trying to figure out what they are talking about. I wish I had saved my Ideal magazines. I think my mom threw them out from when I lived at home. Awesome post. Sandra Haight May 11, 2015 at 8:49 PM Thank you, Andrea. I sure miss those magazines! Ebay sells them as collectibles now. Thanks again for your supportive comments. Sandra
