In Spring

 

crocus pop forth through snow traces

robins appear while winds yet sting

hopes of warm days cheer dour faces

to smile, laugh, whistle and sing

 

lightness of heart strikes up a song,

tulips and daffodil blooming

melted away, winter so long,

so smile, laugh, whistle and sing

 

buds, trumpets of prelude appeal

soft breezes emote playful flings

fresh air restores gusto and zeal

to smile, laugh, whistle and sing

Great poem.
It is amazing how spring can warm not only the earth and restore life where there was none, but also restore one's spirits.
Your poem reflects, in my eyes, this simultaneous development very well.
With its uplifting tone, I can very well imagine it as the song that is sung and whistled.
Well written!

A wonderful celebration of spring; or should I say spring fever? I do love spring so much and this poem read my late winter soul.

A fine sonnet technically and with a lovely cheerful theme.

This is nice! I love spring time. My son is a year and a half and he's just discovered the joy of playing outside in the warm weather. We just had tons of dandelions pop up a couple days ago and he just sits and plays with them. That's what this reminds me of. Great work, as usual. :)

I love the complexity of the syllables and the simplistic, but beautiful topic. Great job!

Oh wow, I loved this!
All of the images of flowers really did the trick in conveying the light-hearted nature of spring. I especially enjoyed the repetition of "smile, laugh, whistle and sing" and though I cannot whistle, it's a good reminder to enjoy the season!
The meter in this was amazing~ I envy your natural rhythm *o*

I love this. I wanted to write a Spring poem and use my favourite non word - daffydillydylos but I just end up with blood spattered on the page. This is beautiful and aptly light, with a whiff of cucumber. Perfect. Love the repetition on the last lines - very classical feel.

This poem has a bouncy feel to me, like a song.
I really like this...so refreshing, the birth of spring.
