Spring rides the steep entrance
beyond cold death’s down
She is everywhere growing joyfully
Green groping marvels reaching
not muchtheworseforwear
Innumerable gladnesses bursting gleefully
Fearless emerging singingly feels
far from icecold nothing’s heels
Flames of jubilant splendor

Beautiful – I, too, rejoice in Spring’s beautiful colors lending some interest and color to this blah landscape. So far, all I’ve seen is snowdrops which are white … tapping my foot, awaiting more.
The photo is actually from last spring. It is still cold and dreary here and we are supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow! 🙂
I’ll “like” the picture because it is wishful thinking, but I’ll “unlike” the idea of more snow. I know that Chicago has been hit hard this past Winter, so supposing you were as well. We’ve lucked out as the last two times the snow fizzled out – we were supposed to get snow tomorrow as well. I hope it is gone for good. I shovel my neighbor’s property (2X the size of mine) all Winter and he mows my lawn. It’s been our deal the past three years. Shhhh … don’t tell him but after I get my Summer mowings, I’m done with our deal. He waved at me while I was digging out from Snowmageddon … we got over 60 inches and I felt like all I did was shovel the months of January and February.
Oh my, that’s a lot of snow! Being older, now i use a backbrace when i shovel; it helps a lot! I need to invent a laser gun that just melts the stuff away when you point at it! 🙂
Wonderful. We are now in autumn, which has its own beauty, but in a couple of months I will be anticipating spring too.
Thank you, Paul! Neat about how the seasons are so different on the other side! 🙂
Yes, it never ceases to amaze me that we are in those different seasons.
Lovely!
Thank you, Belinda! The photo is actually from last spring. It is still cold and empty here… with snow coming tonight and tomorrow! Yuk! 🙂
Spring is slow in coming here too. ➕C temps promised from Sunday onwards😊
Very Beautiful pictures!!
Thanks, Leyla but like was written to Belinda, the photo is from last year. Still very cold with snow in the near forecast! 🙂
Vibrant
Much appreciated, Vikram! 🙂
Looks like more than the flowers are jubilant that Spring is finally appearing over there. Enjoy it. 🙂
The pic is actually from last year; it is still cold and desolate here with snow in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow! It’ll get here but not soon enough! 🙂
Winter really is hanging on up in the North this year. Hoping you get some sun soon and ours goes away! 🙂
It’s always a joy to see green and bright colors return after a long, gray/brown winter.
Like i wrote to others above, it is actually still gray and cold here! Spring is taking her time to get here! 🙂
Yes, spring is in no hurry here, either.
Nice homage to spring! It’s spring here right now but it will be winter later today.
🙂 That’s for sure, SB, with snow in the forecast! Didn’t think i’d have to use that snow shovel again, but that is life…
Wonderful, you can transfer the feelings for spring in a good way, Thomas. I’m waiting for spring, too. It’s very late this year and still quite cold outside. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
Same here, Mitza! 🙂 The photo is actually from last year. I’m getting my snow shovel ready for plenty of white stuff tonight and tomorrow! 🙂
spring is much anticipated…can it live up to the promise? Enjoyed the flower pics.
It can’t get here soon enough, Michael! 🙂 Like was mentioned to the others above, it is still very cold and winter-like here!
Beautiful poem, Tom, such a perfect description, love the photo too!
Very appreciative of that, Laura! 🙂 Snowing here now! Boo-hoo!
The temps have dropped here and winds have picked up, so it is cooler here than a couple of days ago, I guess winter is holding on everywhere just a bit longer.
