This is so worth a six...a seven if it were possible. This is one of the few poems I've read and couldn't decide which lines I liked best. Every single line is so exquisitely written. You are a magnificent poet.

Come Spring by Ben Ames Williams
Comment from Wendy G
It's lovely, you have captured the warmth of the fire and woollen clothes, and the anticipation of green instead of white outside. (We don't even have a fireplace and it's always green outside (or brown in drought)). Beautifully written.

Thanks, Wendy. Are you over the flooding yet?

The area nearest to me is fine now, although there has to be a lot of rebuilding. However the west of the state, usually prone to drought, has had recent unprecedented floods and loss of life. Thank you for remembering and asking.

I love four seasons. Each season has its own beauty. Snow represents winter. It reminds people of Merry Christmas and NewYear.
Spring reminds people it is time to start it over. Make a new plan and work diligently to achieve your goal.
Thanks for sharing

Comment from Cindy Decker 2
Paul,
I needed this poem. I sit here feeling sorry for myself because its cold and dark (cloudy in the morning and afternoon). I hate winter. Except for Christmas.
Your poem is so sweet and uplifting. I'm hoping for a sunny and cheerful Spring.
Excellent work, Paul. I read your bio; my parents were married 64 years; and they were happy too.
Good luck with this and all your writing!
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from Janet Foor
I am so ready for Spring and your stellar poem has me hoping it comes sooner than the calendar says. It's been a cold winter here in NC and I am eager to see those field of green grass appear.
Well done Paul.

Thanks, Janet. It hasn't been too bad up here in Maine.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
This is a short poem that evokes the feeling of waiting for spring to arrive after a long and cold winter. The language is simple and the rhyme scheme is consistent, creating a soothing and peaceful atmosphere. The imagery of the hearth and the frosted windows adds to the cozy and comforting feeling of the poem. Overall, it is a lovely and well-written piece.

Paul, this was just brilliant and so full of wonderful imagery of winter turning into spring.

Beautifully written.

Comment from robyn corum
Paul!!
Dude. Really. If this is what you have been doing while i have been gone, I am thoroughly peeved.
It is stellar. Amazing. Breathtaking. The lines flow so gracefully along one after the other...
The precise use of enjambment keeps the reader leaning forward.. looking our those frosted panes with you. If i strain hard I imagine i see a crocus there~ pushing up a perky head!
And spring is my fave~ so coommee on, spring!!
Loved it!!

Comment from harmony13
The author's words for me are a calling for Spring. I found the poem to be
descriptive and creative. Even though Florida has no winter - I do miss, as the author states, the seasonal transition. The author's words flow and connect well. I found these words bringing up memories of winter in New York for me! Great Poem - Happy New Year!....Maria

This is beautiful and would have been perfect for the two stanza poem contest. It's true that all seasons have a beginning and an end, we just need to make it through. Spring is my favorite, thanks for sharing.
