Warm Springtime's Splender

A lyrical cottage of springtime fragrant flower,
heavenly scented in lilac after spring showers.
Warm sweet breezes gently flow across the glens,
awakens my darkened soul from winter's laments.

Birds have returned from their seasonal travels,
sing sweet lilting songs as spring unravels.
From out of forest hiding a Doe and her fawn,
graze unimpeded on young sweet green grassy lawn.

A clutch of cotton tails scamper in brier brambles,
birch trees spire skyward,resembling tall candles.
Soft gentle rains nourish fields and flowers,
warming sunlit rays spread in shafts by the hours.

New life awakens from it's long cold wintry sleep,
inspiring each soul in sweet essence complete.

              ~~~Suseann~~~

    Refreshing

    Beautiful write Chuck, and well deserving of the forthcoming applause.
    NB I don't know if "Splender" is an Americanism, because we spell it "Splendour", so if I'm wrong, apologies.
    Luv,

    A happy rhyming poem with lovely old piece of art. I was so sweet and homely I wanted to drop every thing and move in.
    A precious gem of a poem, like a tender moment. Wonderful!
    Peace and joy Tara
