Spring - a poem


 

The song bird wakes me in the morn’

Chirps and trills bursting forth from his chest

His song expresses the joy of the season

Spring is here! Spring is finally here!



No more bitter cold or wind

The snow and ice have left for a time

Finally the bulbs and buds can sprout,

Without the fear of deadly frost.



Muted grays and browns of winter’s melancholy mood

Are replaced by the cheerful colors of new life

Yellows, pinks, purples, greens

Erase away the winter blues



The windows are thrown open,

Letting in fresh air in light

The sun has been away too long,

The air was turning stale

But thankfully the Spring has come

To save me from my ails
