Spring Poem by Valsa George

Spring

Rating: 5.0


When the sun glowed warm with brighter sheen
The Earth that lay inert in drunken sleep
Woke up suddenly to greet the glorious dawn
Casting aside the blanket of fluffy wool

Beams of light thawed and melted the icy crust
Leaving the land, bare, bright and new
A clean slate for life to make a fresh start
And give our Earth a lovely face lift

As winter slouched away in staggering steps
Spring, came down gracefully on dancing feet
Like an ingenious wizard with the Midas' touch
Turning everything into glittering green n’ gold

So awesome it is to watch with widening eye
The first burgeoning of life with the kiss of spring
Every tree n’ every shrub, dressed in sudden sprout of leaves
And every plant and every bough bursting into newer buds

Daffodils on wayside nodding in blooms of gold
Pansies and daisies springing close to passing heels
The laburnum and lilacs, getting ready to burst into bloom
Flowers yellow, red and blue on every fence and field

Butterflies flitting round and round on colorful wings
And exotic blooms in gentle breeze swinging their heads
The birds that ere migrated to warmer climes
Coming back once more to fill the aerial space

Sparrows merrily twittering around tiled eaves
The robin springing, throwing a livelier note
The lark disappearing into the sky of fleecy clouds
The swallows shooting out into giddy heights

The feathered minstrels, filling the air in riotous rings
And Nature covering the Earth in quilts of lovely designs
Lovers leave their fireside hearths and coming out
To ramble through country paths, hand in hand

Oh! Spring has come to wipe away the frosty tear
And fill the hearts with overwhelming cheer
Let us join this array of happy crowd
And sing a song of joy with this mirthful brood

well, valsa, i have quickly skimmed the preceding (why does preceding not have 3 es?) comments, and it seems they are ALL favorable. it may be a special challenge for me to find anything wrong with it, but I'LL TRY! :) bri now to read it................... well you certainly make the point that spring (in certain climes) brings new or returning life and colorful blossoms to enhance mankind's enjoyment of the warmer weather. i'll have to spend more time another day critiquing it! yes, it is spring here in northern California, but, unlike in my home state of New York, here, near the pacific coast, we have relatively mild temps even in the winter and no snow at lower elevations. seeing hummingbirds and blossoms in the winter here is not unusual; in new york those birdies would surely starve to death if they didn't freeze to death first. thanks for sharing. bri :)

This poem is as precious as blooming and blossoming of flowers in the Spring, since it captures the very essence of this cheerful season!

Part - 2 And fill the hearts with overwhelming cheer / Let us join this array of happy crowd / And sing a song of joy with this mirthful brood. A beautiful poem on Spring is astutely and incisively delineated by you dear madam, I vote here full ten out of ten.

Part - 1 When spring appears a charming environment is felt. Each tree and’ each shrub is dressed in soft new leaves. New buds are burst. Butterflies flit round and round on colorful wings and exotic blooms in gentle breeze swinging their heads. Sparrows merrily twitter around tiled eaves.Spring plays a vital role in joy of lives. The concluding stanza says much about it. It may be cited here....Oh! Spring has come to wipe away the frosty tear /

Spring came down gracefully on dancing feet. Brush-stroke image of the spring, with this top point (for me) . I want to be stingy and I say just: Beaufiful

And sing a song of joy with this mirthful brood, According to Hindu philosophy, living creature was bestowed upon a season for love and reproduction. Spring season is designed for it. Beauty of flowers, melody of music, the pleasant wind, every thing accelerates the instinct of love. Your response in the shape of a poem is a nice response.
