What might inspire a poem?

I’ve been thinking…

What might inspire a poem?

Spring’s battle with Winter is worthy of note.

We consider how…

Winter’s crusty ground begins to yield to the warm breath of Spring.

But Winter is not going easily — whipping those March winds into a frenzy.

Daffodils and crocus ignore the roars.

Feeling Spring’s warm rays, they burst out of the cold ground to dance in the wind.

Oh would the trees as quickly find their Spring mantle, 

Bare branches still stark against Winter’s cold sky.

But Spring’s sunshine gently teases sleeping leaves.

Blooms aren’t waiting, eagerly bursting out in full color!

Even if cranky Winter musters up one more snow,

The blooms shine through.

Beautiful pinks and yellows illuminating 

Winter’s last gasp. 

Winter goes down for the count in March.

Welcome April.

Well done, Spring!
