Season of Renewal (Alliteration)

by Sylvia   Apr 17, 2010


Season of renewal, splendid Spring.
Tantalizing time of growth, new life it brings,
precious plants, adorable animals are king.

Gleaming green blades of grass,
peek through dark drab browns of brass,
cowardly covering the ground enmass.

Tranquil trees, limbs no longer bare,
covered with bashful buds, opening with care,
lazy leaves awakening there.

Fragrant flowers blooming,
radiant rainbows of color booming,
a festive feast for the eyes, unassuming.

Beautiful butterflies flitting to and fro,
dashing, dancing through the air all aglow.

Rambunctious robins, harbingers of spring,
returning from their winter roost with zing,
laying their eggs of blue as they sing.

Spring, season of transition.
Wistful winter to sizzling Summer, its mission,
a pleasant pleasing time of ambition,
to enjoy God's wonderful work, His rendition.

    I loved this poem the first time I read it. Everytime I read it I love it more. Excellent entry for our Think Spring contest. Congrats on placing.

    I love the word choices in this stanza. bashful buds. Made me smile thinking of a shy tree :)

    radiant rainbows of color booming,

    Your imagery so vivid I could see the flowers and colors in my mind.

    Beautiful butterflies flitting to and fro,

    I miss seeing the butterflies on the flowers so this really brought back many spring and summer memories for me.
    Excellent job!
    Love Cindy

    It is quite a vivid description of one season leaving and another taking it's place.Ahhhh, Spring, that beautiful crisp smell of fresh air, seeing trees with buds starting, just a beautiful thing.And you've portrayed it so beautiful in this warm and wonderful piece.
    Good job Sylvia.

    Great job with the form as well and the imagery you use is just astounding and it made it that more pleasant to read. Also I could practically see all the plants and trees in bud. Good job.

    Another beautiful poem about spring, but now looking at it more in depth, with more stunning descriptions & a different view. It is the season of renewal. Very well done.
