Zephyr

"the gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer, kisses the blushing leaf." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Spring arrives upon gentle Zephyr air. softly kisses new leaves, Whispers greetings for birds to share, shoos snowy thieves. Scent of new flowers hides in Zephyr's hair, as new seedlings she checks She calls sunshine for weather fair, melt winter's flecks. Birds fly from winter nests in Zephyr skies set to build a new nest. First, a partner catching their eyes, spring does the rest. A lovely world forms of greens, subtle golds, and sweet bird songs surround. Springtime's magic Zephyr unfolds joy all around.

A beauty of its own. The transition from winter to spring is so intensely felt in every line . 'Snowy thieves are shooed away'. Congratulations Ann on your great win.
