Welcome Back Spring

Accidental Poet

 

Well here we are friends

On the doorstep of Spring

Let the sun shine

And the returning birds sing

 

As Old Man Winter departs

Leaving behind his melting snow

He left his mark upon the year

And I’m not sorry to see him go

 

The hard ground beneath my feet

Under Sun’s warmth has turned soft

With renewed smile

My frown was turned off

 

Even the little critters

Seem to know Spring is here

Like me just maybe

Their favorite time of year

 

To my refrigerator

I’ll enjoy thirsty walks

And with cold beverage

Upon my front porch I’ll talk

 

To myself

Or anyone who’ll listen

Of the quiet Spring days

For so long I’ve been missing

 

The sky is blue

With scarcely a cloud

Not that I’d mind a few

But none so thunderously loud

 

For I need to hear the birds sing

And watch critters on the lawn

The silence on the breeze

And the feelings it brings on

 

This must be a gift from God

Retreat of Winters sting

When dormant life awakes

Welcome back Spring

    Love these lines:
    Upon my front porch I’ll talk
    To myself
    Or anyone who’ll listen
    I'll think of you sitting in the snow tomorrow doing just that! Great ode to spring!

      And that's what it would be Lorna, sitting on the front porch with the snow coming down. Dare I flip off the snow? Damn right I would. ; )

                A fine write, AP!
                Some birds are singing.
                Some buds are appearing!
                Ah, the lovely signs of a
                lovely season!
                Looking forward to a
                full bloom!
