Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me Maybe it's because nobody loves me. (From Spring is Here by Rogers & Hart) (Image from sodahead.com)

The Timeless Rites of Spring Nothing says life like Rebirth When old trees blossom And new flowers rise up Toward the sky. Nothing says renewal And commitment Like sand and sea And sun and fun When a million students Dance on coastal Sands And frolic to the Sights and sounds Of other students Dancing At Spring break. When even in Rome Mrs. Stone found Love And Stella got her Groove back Down Jamaica Way. It’s when Stravinsky moves us And Sinatra soothes us When daffodils Delight us And puppies want To bite us. Oh this rite of spring To thee We sing When winter’s snows melt And rushing rivers Rise And hormones Awake And sometimes we find Love But only if… Somebody Needs us.

OOoooooo..this piece 'spells' it our beautifully..
now, apart from saving this glorious poem ,I'll need to LIVE my name.
VESNA is the Goddess of Spring in Slavic mythology--
so, let me see, IF I combine your missives and the core vibe of my name..I'll be a most stunning incarnation of the essence of SPRING!

:)))))))))))))))))))

Blessings,

A lovely spring poem. Spring has sprung, the grass is riz. Oh, what a relief it is��not to have spring fever anymore. Hormones galore.
