Spring (poem)

Posted byauthorlaurablogPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Spring arrives in bits and pieces

fits and starts

one step forward, two steps back

like a Chacha.

Temperatures soar for a day or three

then dive down like a bird of prey

But then, little by little,

all of the pieces come together!

The scent of lilacs

The sound of frogs and hummingbirds

The creeks rushing from melt off

Buds on the aspens

Days growing longer at dawn and dusk

The warmth of the sun

YES! All the signs are here

I'm a reading specialist from Chicago, now living in the beauty of the Roosevelt National Forest in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My first book "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" features a creative and curious girl who loves science, her little brother, and her very patient parents. I'm currently writing a MG novel and several picture books with STEM elements and dogs.

  2. Thank you! I’ve been writing poetry for a while but haven’t shared much of it until recently. I appreciate the encouragement. 😊
    If I ever finish revising my novel, there’s a lot of poetry written by one of my main characters embedded in the book.
