I love the photo choice for this poem. Adios winter and hello Spring! It's been quite gray in Michigan. Looking forward to lots more sunshine. Nicely penned poem!

And when Spring arrives, Treischel, we will be pining for summer, or hope for that smooth transition so it is hardly noticeable.

Good write, my friend,
RG

Spring is not only for 'returning birds' but also for our returning spirit. I liked these lines:
"The trees bud
into leaves
for the returning
birds"
Well done, Tom.

It has been a long time coming for the northern hemisphere.
Every word sings the praises of the summer seasonand I truly
understand why.
Nkw it's our turn in the south as autumn winds turn cold and chilly
And winter is nearby.

Hi, Treischel,
"When Sunshine Finally Comes" is excellent free verse poetry celebrating the return of spring and the warmth of it sunshine. It has great unconventional visually pleasing structure. It has good figurative language and imagery (drab turns to green). It has some internal rhyme. It flows well.

Love your vivid description of the joys of spring.

It does sound like you had a very trying winter.

Haven't lived in the land of snow for many years, it seems that I have forgotten how gloomy winter can be.

Great reminder.

Glad the sun has finally come.

Hugs,d

Yes, Spring is finally here. It is warm and the flowers are blooming. That is in the UK, so it is nice to know you have it too, Tom. There is nothing nicer than the sun to brighten up our lives. Lovely poem and lovely photo. :) Sandra

You have written a poem that I totally agree with. It is finally springtime at last. This was written in a very good form and format I enjoyed reading and writing this response for it... John
