Just Outside

just outside

 

When I step outside the door

Something grabs hold of my heart

That wonderful fresh spring of air

Gives each day a special start

 

The soft of air and sunlight

The sound from midst the trees

Herds and heards of flocking birds

Up from southern seas

 

And each plant with a look

Their intent to share that air

And to replace what winter took

They’ll into fresh spring’s snare

 

It’s coffee out each morning now

With the buzz and chirps to share

I think there is little in this life

With which we can compare

Your poem certainly has a spring in its step Dave. A good way to feel at the start of a new season. Nicely metered and rhymed. Have a good day.

Another poem to welcome the onset of spring, and yes the fresh air really is a tonic ..

[john l smith]

yes, that's me and the spring thing

[barleygirl]

Well done welcome to all the festive outdoor bustling, come spring. I tend to sit in my wheelchair in the doorway, looking out at everything bursting forth, as I drink a cup of coffee (often thru-out the day). I was thinking about writing a spring poem too . . . the way my dogs packed on a thick coat this unusually cold winter & now all that fur is released with warmer temps! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hi Margie
Yes t has been a poor winter this year and now unseasonable warmth, but we'll take it
Hugs to U2 in your chair at the door
