Spring Is...

Thursday, May 3, 2018

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1598
"Spring is like perhaps a hand / (which comes carefully / out of Nowhere)arranging / a window, into which people look," writes e. e. cummings, using the image of a hand and its actions to describe the nature of spring. His musings go on in the poem to make various imaginative leaps, but its twists and turns are held together by the shared exploration of a specific subject. Try writing your a poem, short story or blog entry that begins with, "Spring is like..." and explore the season through similes.

Spring Is

Spring is like a smorgasbord
of scents,
and sounds,
and tastes.

Spring is like a symphony
with birds singing,
children laughing,
and people shouting
the joy of the season.

Spring is like a birthday party
you know its going to be fun,
but you don't know what
presents you will get.
