Emile Pinet Poet Jueju

Winter's Defenses

Robin redbreasts welcome Spring
in the melodies they sing.
Bearing breasts of ruddy-red,
they've returned from whence they fled.

A flash of crimson on white
is indeed a pleasing sight.
And as the icicles melt,
Spring's tepid breath can be felt.

Daffodils poke through the ground,
and suddenly, sprouts abound.
Where white was, green patches spread,
a sign of what lies ahead.

Nature nurtures life once more,
and my spirit starts to soar.
Breaching Winter's defenses,
Spring awakens my senses.
