5th Annual Cyberspace Poetry Slam

Spring Forward

The days are still so cold,
And the dark night begins early,
The flowers buds continue hiding,
Waiting to spring forth.

The clouds cover, hiding the sun,
Who peeks through now and then,
Bringing light to those below,
Waiting for the warm spring days.

The rains come, then drizzles and pours,
Quenching the dry parched, aching land,
Filling it's greedy, thirsty needs,
Waiting for the seeds to burst through.

The snow sprinkles lightly, then harshly,
Covering everything in a white bath,
Surrounding a land which grows quiet,
Waiting for the melting spring thaw.

The fog drops lower, then slower each morning,
Covering the world like a giant bedroom quilt,
Disappearing earlier with each new warming day,
Waiting for the sunny awakening of the land.

Soon the sun will shine brightly over the land,
Wonders abound, bringing forth a magical world,
Of new birth, of unlimited joy, and a new beginning,
Waiting to spring forward in a new life of love.

This is my second year of partcipating in the Annual Cyberspace Poetry Slam. I like to think that my poetry has evolved since last year. To participate you may choose a poem from your favorite poet or post one of you own. I wrote a new one, but an older one would have been great too.

Everyone is invited to participate and for details go visit Cosmology of Reya, Ronda's Wonderland, tut-tut's Inside the Shell, and many others.

I hope you will all join us, for this is our 5th year. Well for me it is my 2nd year, but who is counting.
