Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Winter Welcomes Spring

Winter weather snowstorms,
Snow and sleet compete.
Branches become art forms
When two seasons meet.

Moonlit mountains felting
Forms a welcome stream.
Charming snowman melting,
With him flees a dream.

Landscapes pristine, anew 
Birdsongs fill the skies.
Winter's waving adieu,
Blessings for our eyes.

Springtime enters graceful,
Tulips first appear.
Attune, blooming, grateful,
At last spring is here!

Congrats on your well deserved win with Brian and for the first place this got last year. Connie Marcum Wong December 15, 2019 at 3:48 PM I guess you never saw this one.

Reason A. Poteet March 14, 2018 at 2:02 PM You aced the 6-5 required form Beautiful imagery of the winter/spring snow storm. We have had 2 this week in S. Indiana.

Connie Marcum Wong March 14, 2018 at 4:35 PM Thank you very much Reason. I wanted to use Daffodils instead of tulips but it had too many syllables. : )

I am on my slow desktop and I can see them, but it just uses too much of my time to read poems on this antiquated computer. My kindle is so much faster. I hope they can fix the problem. It has been over a week now. Blessings and thank you so much for the wonderful Fave! love, Connie : )
