When dark cold gray Of winter gives way To the warmth of spring The birds twitter and sing Tulips and daffodils thrust Thru the retreating snow crust And the budding of trees Brings forth the buzzing of bees Thirsty rain of April showers Brings the blooming of flowers As spring demands The greening of lands Sun warmly kisses my face As I joyously embrace The coming of a spring day When the lilacs bloom in May When spring comes to Maine [This message has been edited by katahdin (03-18-2012 02:52 AM).] |

Winter wasn't too bad this year, was it? But I can hear the welcoming of summer in your words. Enjoyed! JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Very nice, Kat. This is a very strange spring, actually a very strange past year, thinking about the weather. Three days in a row over 65 in north, central Pennsylvania. The lilac is a sure sign of spring......:-) "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

Hi ice! yes it's been a strange winter and spring all over the USA. I can't wait for the lilacs ( my favorit flower) to bloom in May. Kat >^..^< |

Warmest winter I can remember, but spring sure is welcome nonetheless. Nice work here. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Do you sometimes see flocks of migrating geese on their way up to there summer playground in the Arctic wilderness of the Canadian Arctic? Because, you see, what with my being a goose and stuff, I care about all gooses everywhere! Jaime |
