Ah, Spring, the Great Lakes environs awaits,
shivering your welcome and warming melt,
waxing daylight as the winter's blahs abates.
Yes, we in the snow-belt find your move svelte.
Persephone! Pretty one! Show your face!
Flirt with frosted earth to tweak the cattails,
pussywillows first; the hares foxes chase;
the mallards on melt-water’s icy trails.
Sweet tease! Bring songbirds, red-wing blackbirds back.
Drop the snow and drape the trillium's cloak,
and don the earth, the oak, a dress attack;
sign us the breakout, all hearth-hunkered folk.
Winter weary and frigid weather fans:
More pleasures altogether are the plans!
Creative! Love the flow, and you chose the perfect illustration.
Thanks for helping make my winter pass more pleasantly. Spring can't come too soon for me! 'Pea' <3
