It's been a long, cold winter. Please write a poem about the beauty of spring. Include the words: scent, pink, vibrant, sunlight, delicate. I will be choosing the winning entry, so keep in mind I'm looking for sensual writing that helps me feel spring!
Colours of Spring
Upon its arrival winter ends
Light shines through once more
It warms the soul
And melts the frosty white canvas of winter
Spring’s light brings colour to the world
Brings all we need for life to flourish
Awaken from sleep
Chilling winds return to just a breeze
Only enough to stroke the flowers
As they too have just woken up
Just in time for honey bee
As they wake from the smell of sweet nectar
Oh how spring brings back life
To the trees that were bare in winter
It brings colour, warmth and lightens one’s spirit
With thoughts of breathing easier
Enjoying simple walks
Picnics by the lake
Listening to the world coming to life
As all awaken from deep slumber
