Challenge
Write a work of prose/poetry about the coming of Springtime, but here's the catch: you can't use the letter 'S'
Bienvenido el Verano
I live through the winter
Hungry
Bone-chilling cold
Killing tree and flower alike
Making the earth hard
And impenetrable
Except for a very few
I wait longingly
For the change
Too long in coming
Where I can feed on warmth
And gentle rain
Watching life re-emerge
Ready to begin
A new cycle of life
Only then
In bright light
And long days
Do I, too, awake
And begin to feel alive
Once more
