Spring
.
Life stirs after winter’s death,
Its long, cold sleep thru the snow and sleet,
Bare twigs and dead sticks
Tingle with awakening
And new life shows its nose
Gingerly testing before resurrecting;
A time of marvels and miracles
Where life lives and death dies
Under lightening skies.

I love Spring – it’s a new awakening!
Yes, I agree, Barb. My favourite seasons are Autumn and Spring – so beautiful!
and we are just into spring here, Denise. So nice the promise of warm weather.
Thank you for the vision
John
My pleasure, John. I love the promise of Spring…
Spring is such a miraculous season, adee. Lovely poem.

Thank you, AD. I believe it is miraculous, the way life springs forth again and again…
I’m just sorry that this pretty picture isn’t just round the corner. We are heading for winter at a rate of knots, and it feels it!
Ha, yes indeed, Col. We have had such an icy wind blowing the warmth away…
How quickly it changes too.. I guess that’s why they call it spring… one day the skeletons of trees show through the woods and the next (it seems) green dots appear on the extremities, and then at the blink of an eye, poof, you can’t see the trees, for the leaves. Very nice poem Denise.
It does that here too, Jake. Spring doesn’t last very long and neither does Autumn. It seems Summer and Winter are always in such a hurry! Thanks for the compliment.
Well deserve as usual Denise, but the summer of course seems to take the fastest lane. But whichever the season we enjoy it as best we can..
Your words enhance the arrival of spring in such a refreshing way, Denise. Thank you for this post; spring is my favorite time of year.
Blessings – Maxi
Blessings to you too, Maxi, and thanks for liking my poem. ♥
gorgeous photo, Adee, and heartening words to go with it – spring’s a one-of-a-kind in how it makes me feel,
new life shows its nose
Gingerly testing before resurrecting
wonderful description!
Thanks for the encouragement, Ruth. The photo is an old one taken with my cellphone, lol!
Your verse, “Tingle with awakening…” so powerful and wonderful. I can sense the energy of the plants coming to life and giving birth—especially as spring is unfolding right here in the Northeast as well. Really beautiful!
Blessings, Erin, Bella Bleue
Thank you, Erin, Bella Bleue! We, here in the Southern hemisphere, are actually going into winter now. What a seesaw of seasons…
I do love the coming of Spring, Denise. You express it beautifully.
I am so glad you liked it, Kate. ♥

Under lightening skies.
My favourites as well, in the same order, Brian. Thank you!
There wasn’t very much winter this year at all. lol.
I bet you were pleased with that, Otin. I’m so glad you are back writing again; I missed you. Am holding thumbs that your book/s are a great success!
“A time of marvels and miracles”
A fine line.
Thanks, Ben. Hopefully I’ll get around to visiting soon – I am finding it very difficult to fit everything in lately…
Not the only one, my dear.
Now THAT’S a relief to hear, Ben!
Love Spring, but abhor Winter, really brings out the worst in me.
It’s so lovely to see you again, Cin. I hope you are busy reinventing yourself. This is my 3rd reincarnation, so to speak! Pre-, post- and now, well, it remains to be seen, but it looks very interesting from here…
Beautiful poem. We have spring here now and I could look outside and see everything that you had written. Thank you.
Jeannie
Thanks, Jeannie, we’re at the opposite end of the spectrum, but I like to picture the thawing juices inside the plants taking nourishment to the new growth…
I like the images of both a young animal poking out from the place where it was hiding and the image of an infant animal being newly born which the line “new life shows its nose” conjures.
Thanks for the visit, Audrey, and the lovely compliment. I hope to see you again…
Lovely!
Thank you so much, Nancy. I’ve been absent quite a lot lately, but am hoping to remedy that soon.
Beautiful pinks in the photo. So delicate. Is there anything more joyful than the arrival of spring? If there is I can’t think of it!
Spring is really a time of miracles to me, Selma. All the new growth and baby birds…
This is what gives hope for bright morrows from bleak todays.
I agree, Murty! I have been worried about you and hope you have been keeping well and as pain-free as possible. It is lovely to see you again.
Thank you Denise. Best wishes of friends like you keep me hanging on. Thank you so much for your support.
