The Period of Change

The indents and lines upon the Earth
From snow melting, has written its fluid song of rebirth.
The sky, cold blue, wars with the sharp heating sun.
This moment of exclamation says Springtime's begun

Splats of snow lie beneath cliff's high rook.
They splay like asterisks on the pages of a book.
A hiker on foot notes the changes in spring airs,
While the snow under the cliff sheds the last of its tears.

The transition from winter to spring is beautifully delineated. "A hiker on foot notes the changes in spring airs, While the snow under the cliff sheds the last of its tears." Love these concluding two lines. Have a great week ahead dear Hilda.

Contrasting elements of nature as we know it are beautifully delineated. The human dimension neatly placed. I value your detailed and comprehensive slants on my recently posted poems Howard kerr
