Week 38 Spring in an Octameter

LOL...trying to kill me again!

Spring is coming soon,
Though snow is still seen.
Flowers reaching up
To soak up the sun -
Defying the chill,
As it must come.
Winter is fading;
It's hold was not fun.

I relish the change
From the last season;
Drinking from its cup -
Though it seems so strange,
Summer's 'round the bend
Spring will be exchanged.
Though its just begun.
I shall greet it's run.
