gems glitter on Hyatt-Mill Creek,
purple crocus pop up,
the year's at the spring.
Cotton clouds kiss azure skies,
mountains unfurl purple ribbons,
wild strawberries dot roadsides,
the robins twitter as they fly.
Sound the flute!
The winter is past,
life bursts forth from earth's tomb;
gems glitter on Hyatt-Mill Creek.
The hillside's dew-pearled,
frogs croak on the pond,
there's joy in the hills;
purple crocus pop up.
Willows wave lacy fingers,
the winter has retreated,
roses waft on a chilled breeze;
the year's at spring.
--Brenda Kay Ledford
I hope all my blogger friends will have a Happy Spring!

Beautiful poem Brenda and you captured it so well. Love all of your photos too. I love spring and all the new birth it brings. Hope you have a nice spring as well.
Happy Spring and happy St. Patrick's Day! Such a charming poem and colorful pictures. xoxo
A great description of Spring's beauty. I do love to see the weeping willows swaying in the March wind. Have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful photos and poem, Brenda! Wishing you a happy spring too!
Beautiful spring sights.
Lovely poem and pictures, Brenda. I keep waiting for spring to come around here. Our weather is so fickle, it doens't know what to do.
The poem is very pretty...just like spring time. Springtime in the NC mountains is beautiful; the few times I've been there and seen it. Tomorrow is spring, thank goodness. Now if it will just warm up a little.
Beautiful poem and I love the poem! This is my favorite time of year.
Your poetry shows you are a true lover of nature and all its glory, Brenda. Your photos are so pleasing to the eye, I want to stop and just look at them a while. I look forward to your reading at Coffee with the Poets and Writers on April 18 as we celebrate Poetry Month.
