Spring inspires me so much! I have written several poems about spring. I am sharing one of them here with you today. Enjoy!
My Favorite Time of the Year
Through the eyes of velvety blossoms,
Those budding shades of soft pinks and creamy whites,
I watch spring unfold,
Dripping color like a Monet painting,
Honey-rich for the taking.
And over there, I turn to listen to the
Cheerful chirps from those bold red robins,
Thrusting their chests out to the world
As they dance with flair among the
Yellow-capped daffodils; bring more color
For my enjoyment.
All come together like clockwork, streaming forward,
Beautiful and bold, a testimony to what really
Counts in life.
No matter what the news sprouts forth,
No matter what chemicals are spewed into the air,
No matter the diseases and the sadness,
I do not care.
At least not now, not this moment in time.
I take a deep breath as the wind caresses my hair.
I embrace Spring for what it represents,
Because Spring is here, life can continue,
And nothing and no one is going to stop it!
