Make Way

She's almost here...

Old Man Winter,

he’s breathing his last;

the tides are now turning,

the die has been cast

it’s true, the old duffer

is no longer king;

time to make way

for Fair Lady Spring!

 

Author's Note

Warmer forecasts for this week - yay!

Gotta love Springtime - even in the throes of Summer! :) Thanks, E!

I like this. It's a good description of how each season becomes the commander then must depart for the next to administer new authority.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, M. Today, the first day of Spring, is pretty cold, but the upcoming week looks more seasonable. Lady Spring takes the reins once again! :)

It's a good piece, the imagery speaks loudly and clearly. The short form is perfectly done, because the reader is not left unfulfilled by the piece.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Carrie!

You've got a way about you and turning a phrase! Melts a snowy pathway to my poetic doorway! Write on, spring princess!

[Rita L. Sev]

What a lovely, poetic review! Thank you, Perkele!

[Perkele.7885]

My pleasure, always!

[Lydia Shutter]

Hope you feel the warmth of Spring soon....and see the lovely buds on flower bushes. Surely Lady Spring will be happy to enter the world if she reads your words! :) lydi**

Spring is always a happy season, the liberating death of old man winter and the beautiful herald of summer. I wonder what gender you'll give to summer when you inevitably write something about it? I enjoyed this as usual...pen on :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Hmmm... Strange, Summer and Autumn strike me as female too... only Winter is male in my mind. I'll have to ponder that a bit! Thank you, Rocans! I know I have been slow at reviews lately, but be assured that I will be reading and reviewing the writers I respect! :)

Finally. Your poetry is very simply wrote and you can find meaning in it.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Stephen. I like simplicity... it's easier to find the beauty there...

He's hung on long enough; it's time he was dethroned.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep - I am loving the warmer (but not quite warm enough...) temps!

[Devanshu Rajput]

WoW!!! A grand welcome to spring. Now, it's tie that bone-chilling winter must get lost, and pave way to summer.

Your poems have always amused me.

Thanks for sharing this masterpiece.
