Best Sprung Poems

All around our hedgerows and gardens
Buds are forming bringing brilliant
Colour into our lives where previously
Dreary winter darkness lurked.
Everywhere new life is forming
Fields are bouncing with spring lambs
Gamboling about with their friends.
Hyacinths sensational scent fills the air
I simply love this time of year
Just bursting with new...

futures cavort below the horizon
  an expectant dawn glows, duly announcing the first born arrival
  tomorrow then forward smiles, feeling good
  half planned momentous moment, ordering fate, shaping survival

  surf wave crests on a rising tide of change

Spring hasn't sprung: No bees have stung;
No painter's fallen off a ladder's rung.
No miner's contracted black lung.

Spring hasn't sprung: No batter has swung
At a strike three pitch that no hurler has flung
In a ballpark where Opening Day Game banners
  have yet to be hung.

I am up
before the sun
and I move 
with anticipation
to the shade.

To peek out.

What awaits?
What has occurred
while I slumbered?

A new blanket 
of snow and ice
would be nice
with rabbit tracks
across the lawn.

Had sheets of rain
fallen around
leaving branches 
on the ground
and puddles 
everywhere.

Would there be 
a kiss
of fog...

Dainty daffodils
raise golden trumpets
announcing the news
the snow has melted -
mother nature thrives

Green leaves dress trees
baby birds chirp
little lambs leap
time of rebirth

Spirits lift
as sunshine
warms our face

I just
adore

Spring!

Tonight I thought passion would bring
But not in the shape of a bed spring
The very moment I peaked
I felt what was breached
Now I am so very hampered in upswing

es ist ein 'Rose' entsprungen

Just outside the city walls ringed in roses,
Rosenfriedhof, Rose Cemetery blooms,
fairest in the Fatherland.

Leaven cakes iced in concrete or royal brass
pan the gravel paths; the husks which lie here, 
no longer have a care, no longer wish for power,
no longer seek...

Spring has a contagious laughter
A redemption with warm and tender words
Its oblique sun through virgin quivering,
with May green wooden crowns
There is no doubt that it tickles a little extra in the body
Butterflies, beautiful creatures in many different colors
And now the bumblebees wake up
They brush the...

SPRING SPRUNG

first buds
        sprung from doldrums
this motionless hurry

giant bird
after all these winters
has found its way.

cat sense
    and so quiet
at the open window

fluttering things
      dropping from bare branches

Spring mornings are cool bright and wonderous
Birds loudly chirping as they fly and tweet
Flowers blooming surrounding all of us
Fresh raindrops drenching the earth at our feet

Summer is coming cool weather we'll long
Yard work and spring cleaning, the swirling dust
School is out for break the sparrows...

Spring has sprung, noticing on my way out
The budding vegetation seems to stand up and shout
“Look at me!” fave time of the year
They stand tall, most without fear
Yep, surely spring has come-Live on bud sprout!

Birds
trilling, 
butterflies
flitting, flora
arrayed in colors
of the rainbow,
delighting
buzzing 
bees.

Can't seem to get off to sleep tonight, thoughts buzzing around my old head,
It's dark and quiet, the cat has gone out and the street lights have gone out too,
The odd car passes by maybe coming home from friends or a night on the town,
Could...
