Poem: Let’s Hope Spring Has Sprung

Spring arrives once a year, from March until June
Enjoy this mild weather for summer will arrive soon

We’ve had a rough winter, this is clearly true
We welcome this scenic season as nature starts anew

The trees come alive, the flowers are in bloom
Each bird has its own beautiful tune

Deciduous trees like the maple and oak to name just two
Exactly how they change I haven’t a clue

The common Poorwill is the only bird known to hibernate
It must have at least one unique and unusual trait

The animals come out, they appear one by one
They seem so playful now that winter is done

Those such as bats, groundhogs, bears, chipmunks and mice
The beauty of nature will surely suffice

So appreciate this wonderment and take it all in
Use the senses you’re given again and again

This world has so much to offer if you just take the time
I hope you have enjoyed my creative little rhyme
