What Heralds the Imminent Spring?
By lupus tenebrae
I.
Sparrows, startled from their perch,
twittering song piercing the muffled winter air.
II.
Wegee Creek, rage loosed from its icy bonds;
restless, murky, dining on snowmelt
'til it bursts at the seams.
III.
Grass; emerald spires shone vibrant
against a dwindling sea of white.
IV.
Nature's lukewarm kiss; language
spoken in zephyrous tongue, breathing
life into a poet's once frostbitten hand.

I have never been a fan of Spring. However, I must admit that reading this as the snow is silently falling outside made me long for it. This was quiet. I enjoyed it.

A very interesting sequence work of the progression of spring and a fading winter. Excellent word selection and descriptive choices. Very well done.
