The Goddess of Spring awakens new life.

Flora Comes

by HarryT

Comes the sun prancing among budding trees,
Whiffs of spring freshness waft on the air
Tingling ice crystals melt, drip from branches
Ghostly visions of winter silently disappear

High-flying geese broadcast their return 
Squirrels scamper, robins build nests
Shoots sprout, flowers awaken
Flora, Goddess of Spring, is here


 



Spring writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem about how spring affects you. It can be humorous, inspirational, romantic - whatever you feel as springtime returns.


"In Roman mythology, Flora was a goddess of flowers and flowering plants, both the fruit bearing ones and the ornamental ones. She also came to represent the season of spring. While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime."
