Best Spring To Life Poems

What a wonderful time nature will bring

this exceptional season we call Spring,

sounds of birds, amazing aromas, smells

beautiful cowslips, primrose and bluebells,

fresh feel in the air,green shoots of new crops

colourful tulips, pansies, and snowdrops,

misty mornings, dew on the lush green grass

trumpets of daffodils, tulips, crocus,

warmth from...

the carpet of snow
inch by inch disappears
earth covered with sleep
ever so gently awakens

the thaw sets in motion
streams gurgling and tingling
and birds rush home to nest
while colours of spring come to life

By a road traversed by many
 Where few uphold her beauty
 She stood a figure so *****
 Which only drew me near
 
 I wonder if she'll ever know 
 How marvelous she was in snow
 She shields her blessed bloom 
 Which blossom till...

Out to the bleacher
We were drawn
By sun burning down,
Melting stubborn
White snow mounds,
While the girls
Still with wintry-pale legs
Trotted the bases
Or lowered to grateful grass
In the broad outfield
And stretched calves out
With spread lean thighs
We somehow knew
Would one day open
That way for love,
So we bee-essed
About doing it,
How much,...

The Spring sun beams down 
life begins anew, 
snow melts all around 
the sky, a beautiful blue. 

Birds go through the sky 
music gently flows, 
I watch as they fly 
wind carries them to and fro. 

I take in the sight 
nature at its best,...

In the consuming time of day
the water of the no longer frozen pond
is again home to a family of ducks
floating quietly in the center, as if praying
at the table prior to evening’s dinner.
High above the pond, a large flock of blackbirds
zigzagged through the air…swoosh!...gone! 
their...

When The Tides Of Life Roll
(Anaphora)

When morn awakes by the bluebirds trill
When the robin songs echo on the hill
When the tides of life run against you
When your dream rainbow is shining through
When again the dim hope lamp burns
When hopeful once again world peace returns
When crazy...

The wind crept up - the skies ever so dark
Black, slick, clouds and calamity enters thy soul
Dreary! It chatters and limbs they fly
No sun upon thy face - beaming with hue
Those clouds they swarm in darkness
Rain - it pours - flooding the earth
Bewildered I look...

It's raining today - dreary it may be
The imagery of the raindrops in my view
Dripping !  In my brain I visualize
The dark clouds surrounding me
Thus I see - will there be sunlight
I look, I ponder! I watch and I surmise
the sun may peak in...

on the banks of lake michigan i found my true loves soul
tired and twisted in a wreckage of folded metal resembeling avatgard sculptures

nameless, senseless, and cold i drug her from the wreckage while the sky was painted red and black
now with the moon in my...

The sweet, small, clumsy feet of April came into the ragged meadow of my soul ~ e.e. cummings

April falls across my life
Caressing my mind with whispers
Of winds so sweet and soft
They echo on my thoughts like a song
Music to my secret yearnings, 
Laughing hopes and...

My rose bushes are lusher than ever this year.
For soaking rain and warm days abound,
Though with too little sun I fear.
Still, they give me many blooms that astound.

Their gentle glow lightens any despair, 
On return from the chaos filled outer world. 
Sweet, spicy, fruity and...

The spring awakens
From beneath frost the earth warms
As sun rays alight on the rocky surface.
Dormant and waiting, so patient,
Just biding time until it's right,
Embryonic shoots break through
Blinking in the bright, clear air of revival, 
after winter's stark fingers laced the land with ice. 
Petals punctuate...

In the beginning where buds lifts man’s hearts beyond those of the dismal dark, there is a light in the life of each being and plant that grows while the season extends beyond the grave of winter. Life evolves through time, crafting its own existence...

Tis spring and budding the crocus blossom
the fuchias have died from winters fright
the cold gate of winter has released it's might
and yet in hybernation is the possum
 
the spires of the foxglove will skip this year
within the glacial tears have winnowed past
then distilling of snow...
