Notes About The Poem

Winters Transformation

“Transformation of winter into spring shares hopeful hearts” by Poet

Winter’s Transformation

Bird songs reverberate from tree to tree
songs that elate when they reach the ears.
Spring is almost here and the birds are in tune.
Wistful dreams of warmth and tulips abound.
The willow weaves her magic with breezes 
by the lake leaving ripples in their wake.

Mother Nature enchants us with winter wonders
she provides in melting snow on mountain tops,
as colors peek through sharing their delightful hues.
Radiant sun transforms snow into cascading river’s flow.
Hibernation ends and sleepy bears awaken hungry
as they venture forth for food near river’s edge.

On the distant forest floor creatures large and small
welcome the changing season with renewed invigoration.
Rain on open meadows grows a sea of golden dandelions
moving in winsome waves with the wayward wind. 
Chill of winter ends in bursts of colors in surround sounds.

Hello Connie ... easy to picture your transformation from winter to spring. Both seasons have their beauty but of course spring has much more added colour - another fine verse Connie - Lindsay

I admire and love the way seasons vary widely giving way to beautiful poetry. Unfortunately in the place where I live, winters too are sunny :-( I wish I could enjoy snowy days at least once in my lifetime so that l'll start admiring the sun and summers!! For now, I enjoy it through your spring-themed poetry!!

Connie 'Rain on open meadows grows a sea of golden dandelions ~~ moving in winsome waves with the wayward wind.' Delicious words painted on my mind, painted with loving strokes. Flavored with adorable hungry bears coming out of hibernation. -Richard

This is lovely, Connie, yes the snow when receding tends to enhance the colours that follow, especially when we have all been conditioned to the dark and dreary days of winter. And the poem a deserved winner is exceedingly beautiful also.
