One Shot Wednesday - Celebrate Spring

It's the first day of Spring...YAY!




Springs beauty arrives
Like a breath of fresh air
Winter blues exit
On a cloud of despair



Young lambs are playing
New lives just begun
My aches and pains fade
In the warmth of the sun



Kids invent games
As daffodils bloom
Summer is imminent
For me, not a moment too soon


Coming up... Coco's World...pics of our wee dog..

Have a wonderful day.

Love KB

  7. There is something so rejuvenating about Spring. Hope yours is glorious! We're looking forward to autumn here and it's been a brutal summer so it can't come too soon!

  18. Your poem is full of the lightness of being and optimism as spring is itself. Though we are moving into fall here, I like fall a lot. I'd like it even better were it not followed by cold and snow and slush. :-(

  22. Dear KB,
    We do not have seasons, it's either sunny or rainy up here.

    But I love the changing seasons, had my share of it in Canada.

    So I can envy you spring down there!

    And what a lovely poem to welcome it!

  24. Beautiful poem. I wished it was spring here too; then I could look forward to the summer.

    We had only one month real summer weather (a little bit too hot)in July. August was rainy and September start to be better but temperatures may be a little bit higher.

    Judy - I usually include a link to my post when I visit to make the post easier to find as I often post more than one item per day. I'll try to remember not to do so if I visit again. Thanks for stopping by.
