Ode to Spring

Spring is in the air, flowers are popping, birds are singing, buds are budding and creativity is blooming. Here's a little ode that I wrote to Spring.

Haste springtime clear,
Leave winter drear,
Save eternal air,
Place with fragrance here.

Song of blissful night,
Play within my sight,
Call with truthful sound,
Peace come to me bound.

Here at last presents a bud,
Between my toes covered in mud,
This wondrous sight is hard to miss,
Life creeps again, a spring of bliss.

Melt away white winter's grasp,
Be present now, away the past.

In Korean it's pronounced mugunghwa, which means 'immortality'.
In english we call this flower the Hibiscus syriacus.

I love Spring.

Cool! I like the poem Jon! "Melt away the winter's grasp." That's what the sun is doing here these days - melting away the snow. :)
