Description:
Spring is a magical time.

Spring

-------------------------------------------

Snow abates, the frost retreating
Winter time now seems so fleeting
Birds return, with young lambs bleating
Now Spring is on its way

The sun, it climbs to heights of old
Days get longer, nights less cold
Evening shadows laced with gold
Now Spring is on its way

Sap is rising, trees awake
Fish are spawning in the lake
Salmon, herring cod and hake
Now Spring is on its way

Bluebells, crocus, daises growing
Farmers ploughing, busy sowing
The Western wind is set for blowing
Now Spring is on its way

Stars appear and twinkle bright
Oceans glisten in the night
Ebb and flow with all their might
Now spring is on its way

Romance blooms and grows on high
Couples kiss and touch the sky
Praying love won’t pass them by
Now Spring is on its way

   I agree with everone here.......this poem really is a great one.............

Well thought out and written with excellent meter .....there sure was a 'spring' in each step of the poem.

The poem flows very beautifully and you have penned down so many of the blessings that nature bestows on us.......during the advent of spring ( in this poem ).

I liked these verses :

"Stars appear and twinkle bright
Oceans glisten in the night
Ebb and flow with all their might
Now spring is on its way" ;

"Romance blooms and grows on high
Couples kiss and touch the sky
Praying love won’t pass them by
Now Spring is on its way"

But to come to think of it, I nearly change my mind when I read the other verses once more..............each one is great.

Good job.

  This poem is wonderful praise of Spring, and all it's hopeful promises of new life.
Another wonderful work, Frank!
As always, thanks for sharing your words with us.

tiny buds open

  As you may guess, I cannot wait until those warm days of spring grace us with their presence. Your poem is a delight to read and the repeated line worked very well as an emphasis. This one goes to my favorites! :-) Sharon

  I love it, as usual, Frank. :)

Nothing bad to say. Keep up the good work, as you always do!

  This poem has the mood of the almost breathless anticipation of Spring after enduring the agony of a long, cold, and grey winter! It literally "sings" with the joy of anticipation, and the mood of Spring!

I love this:

"Romance blooms and grows on high
Couples kiss and touch the sky
Praying love won’t pass them by
Now Spring is on its way"

I can remember some blushing farm girls whose kisses took me right through the clouds and beyond! *sigh*

You have a genius for writing, and for telling a rhyming story! I enjoyed this very much!
