Changing of the Guard
Convivial scenes of yellowy-green
Adorn the lush, mudlicious landscape.
Recanting its vow to change disallow, the
Prodigal, Winter, makes its escape…
Evoking the pace of a great steeplechase
Determined, the seedlings awaken
Impetuous thirst quenched by a cloudburst
Effulgent, the land reawakens.
Momentous – and mine! – This season, divine.
,
Happy Earth Day!
This poem, also divine. Especially the internal rhymes!
(and “mudlicious”)
Oh, lovely! Happy Earth Day! Great energy in your lines, love the feeling of triumph and celebration in those last three words.
