POETRY CONTEST 2ND PLACE “The Return of Life”

The Return of Life

Written by Megan Edwards

 

Baby bears leave their hibernation 

Mother birds build nests for the new generation 

Orion bids us all goodbye 

So Leo can dance along the moonlight sky

Trees fill with blossoms, leaves and berries 

To honor the coming of the springtime fairies 

Dead bushes and shrubs trade for blooming flowers

And February frost gives way to April showers

And just like last year, and the year before

Life begins again, once more
