As days of Winter end with Spring, Before we know, that time will bring Complete release to walk and roam- Devote more time away from home. Enthralled by Spring's much longer day, For us to spend outdoors in play- Go seek out new and varied blooms, Have joy in smelling sweet perfumes. Invite dear friends for outdoor fun Just to relax, enjoy the sun. Keep lawns and bushes nicely groomed- Love seeing trees have fully bloomed. Move on from house to porch at will- No cold to keep us bound by chill. Observe as Springtime’s glow unfolds- Pause to enjoy the thrills it holds, Quiet sunsets bring soothing sighs- Release our burdens neath pink skies; Store energy for the next day To spend again in Spring’s bouquet. Under the Sun and warming breeze- Victorious, Spring ends the freeze. With her rebirth, we can embrace Xanadu- say goodbye, erase Year’s darkened days of Winter’s sting- Zenith of each year- our Spring!

Thanks, Andrea...I put it together so quickly and replaced my first entry since I had missed the "Spring" theme in the rules and had composed one about the Universe!! Hugs, Sandra

Thank you so much, Shadow. I quickly redid my entry the last minute because I failed to read that the poem was to be about Spring and the one I originally entered was about the Universe!! Anyway, it is always a pleasure to participate in your contest, and I thank you for the placement. Hugs, Sandra
