Dogwood Spring

A beautiful tree welcomes spring.

We came upon a dogwood tree

in back of winter sting;

it hinted at a bright return

along the front of spring.

It stands above a waterfall

to drink the morning mist;

there’s urgent flow and ample splash

where ice once made a fist.

Upon the hillside draped in brush

this dogwood tree abides;

anon the beauty will appear

when all of spring resides.

There is the feel of light and hope

as evergreens abound;

in budding bloom the dogwood tree

adorns the winter brown.

When March concludes a gentle lamb

provides the vernal link;

beyond the frigid winds that pass

thrives awesome white and pink.

We came upon a dogwood tree

and felt the urge to sing;

now each fine flower in the sun

applauds the voice of spring.

Very good use of the classic language there. As always, I feel good to see something with rhythm, rhyme and stuff, especially a nature poem. There are so much hidden meaning in one moment of bare nature, and more than ever, we need to savor them now. And who can do it better than a poet?

Keep writing.
