The sun arose this morning
against a clear, blue skyThe birds sing a new song
a sign that spring is nigh
Trees awaken from their sleep
and long winter's rest
Tulips raise their little heads
all fancy, frilly and dressed
Meadows are green and lush
sparkling with morning dew
Daffodils join the parade
of spring's march brand new
Dogwoods will soon reign
in snow covered bloom
Honeysuckle will cast a spell
of sweet, fragrant perfume
A fresh and welcome breeze
spring is such a thrill
Winter's last whimsical stroll
bows down to kneel

Yep, tomorrow is the first day of spring on the calender that is. I know everyone feels the same as me, bring it on. This has been one of the roughest winters we've had in many years and it just doesn't want to let up. As my daddy used to say. "It's gonna be a late spring". Hang in there folks it won't be long now, I hope.
It feels like spring around here already, Susie. What a lovely poem. Did you take the picture of the birds? Their blue feathers are so vibrant and pretty. Bird watching is one of my favorite things to do.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring, Susie.

Aww, thank you Sheri. I'm so glad spring has arrived for you. It'll be here soon I hope. I love bird watching as well. Love to you.
DeleteThis poem is filled with beautiful word pictures! And although spring starts without the redbud blooms, and the green grass, we know God set the seasons for us, and it will come.
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling better, Susie?
Aww, thank you Charlotte and you are so right. God Bless!!
DeleteBeautiful poem, Susie! I'm glad has arrived on the calendar. I hope the warmer temperatures and green grass and flowers will join us soon too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy. I hope so too.
DeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to Spring time. I am sure that Spring time will stay with us longer as you have welcomed it with the beautiful poem of yours. Thanks on behalf of us all who have been longing for the arrival of Spring. GOD BLESS !
ReplyDeleteThank you Munir. I hope it arrives soon for all of us.
DeleteA lovely poem Susie. I am hoping that warmer weather will soon be here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth. I feel the same.

ReplyDeleteThanks Janet. That's the way it is here.

ReplyDeleteThank you Linda.
DeleteSusie, This is the right poem for me today...I am so very happy that Spring is here...even though we may get some nasty weather in a couple days or so. I hope you are enjoying your first day of spring. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you Susie. I've been thinking of ya'll. Old man winter just won't turn lose this year. Praying you have spring soon. Blessings to you.
DeleteWell, Susie, if a poem could make it get there any faster - this one would surely do it! It is just a perfect picture of Spring.
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you Elaine.
DeleteSpring is inevitable, even if it does take longer than most of us would like. If the Spring Azure has anything to say about it, we are in the clear!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lise. I surely hope so.
DeleteSusie,
