Burgeoning.
Winter's sharp knife now lying buried
in burgeoning earth
means ice ceases and once birdless
branches can become leafed and ready.
Music of March unsettles the breast
of restless nature
while each sunrise expresses daily
the need for change to a greener dress.
Muddy ground tires of sodden trying
to create movement
while soaked garden fills as pools
above make roots beneath swell and die.
Yet season's battle loses its anguish
when breezy attempts
win the fight of drying difference
so Spring may begin her flowery task.

Full of optimism with some great lines - especially like the last line.
Great images, nicely done.
BURGEON ~ To spring into life overnight ! Great word ! Thanks FAY for increasing our vocabulary and sharing another elegant ode with an elegant message of burgeoning SPRING. Love the line "Music of March unsettles the breast of restless nature" I observes that struggle very day last month and now (at last) APRIL is here ~ AMEN. Thanks for caring ~ Yours B. Love the visual it complements the message !
Good write, Spring is upon us.
Loads of spring enthusiasm in you lovely verse. Phil.G
Descriptive write. Erm, I recall a flurry of snow in late April last year. Now I've spoilt things! doh! Let's hope it stays Spring-like!
This means ice ceases and once birdless branches can become leafed and ready. A great imagery is drawn in this poem. This smoothly flows. Muddy ground tires of sodden trying to create movement. Green grasses smile remaining in dress of Earth. Very nice perceptional is shared during spring.
