Buds burst forth new growth on branches Perfume of peonies permeate the air Blankets of bluebonnets in beds of color The bounty of spring is everywhere As spring's rays bathe the earth Creeping from caves with newfound hope And new life rampant all around us Everywhere a spurt of growth Spring has its own unique promise A time of balance has begun A time of new life and new loves A time for journeys to begin Children's laughter fills the air As eagerly they prepare to hunt For bright colored easter eggs Chocolate bunnies to fill their baskets Hearts and souls become lighter Hope and love is in the air The long dark days of winter gone Celebrate together, spring has come Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth."

Pepper...I think that spring, love and death are probably three of the most difficult topics to capture in poetry. You do a good job here with spring. I like it. Bob |

This is absolutely vivid, and was a fun read. I think if you remove the word As from the second stanza, it would be beneficial. It had me feeling much like one does when the last note of a song, the resolution note, is not played. Without the 'As' one would not keep waiting for the other shoe to drop...which occurs several lines down, but very far away from the dependent clause. |
