Winter's had a cold, hard fling

smothering warmth neath

blankets white

horizons lost in muted gray

and huddled humans bound

behind shutters closed

gainst natures fray

but, finally, another day

for tomorrow springs near

arriving with promise dear

of all the new

the heart is looking to

song of birds always sung

whether due applause

gives cause for ovation or sigh

slender green pokes through

flirting with the sun

buds burst, one by one,

till trees sway with heady bouquet

wafting sweet, sweet fragrance

to honor the day

soon the air will be alive again

buzzing, fluttering, soaring

spring arrives in infancy,

a thudding baptismal mooring....

Although it's the beginning of fall here, it feels like summer! (: So wonderful not to be shoveling snow!

Lovely rhyming, and timing
Spring chiming in full song

That's quite a last line, and it's very descriptive of how spring arrives in New England.

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists. Featured.
