A Springish Poem

Daffodil Dessa

Winter, with her cloak so icy

White and rigid, cold and stark

Chillingly comes the whispered breezes

Causes lonely nighttime freezes

Everything draped with gloom so dark

 

Still she flaunts her snowy splendor

Flakes so intricately formed

Blankets fall on ground around us

Whiteness, brightness soon surrounds us

Through the world, Madame Winter has stormed

 

Yet soon the time has come upon her

Sending her cloak of darkness grim

Away with the snow, the ice, and chills

Away with her snowflakes' charming frills

Hear ye Ms. Robin singing a hymn

 

Sir Sun lets his rays shine brighter than ever

Letting the children called Grass come to play

Green carpets grow swiftly under our feet

Birds singing brightly, the morning to greet

It feels more and more like a fresh Springish day

 

Look there, out into that field far away

Ever so sweetly, with silence and grace

Shaking out her skirts and all of her dresses

Combing through her delicate tresses

Tis Daffodil Dessa with her small darling face

 

With yellow and white she declares the great truth

If you listen quite closely you may hear her sing

"Gone with the Winter, though her charm made us smile

It is time for a new Madame to flaunt for awhile

And that Madame's name is Miss Spring!"
