Yes a sign that old man winter may indeed be on his way out as new buds and new life begin again as temperatures rise and - presented through a convincing war metaphor

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Nicely done. I love the artwork, although it doesn't give credit to the artist. This is an excellent job of describing the 'death' of winter and the 'birth' of spring. "redbuds proclaim winter's defeat." Yes, this says it well.
Thank you for sharing and good luck!

Thanks Jesse. The picture is one I took of a redbud tree at my lake cabin in East Texas. I ran it through a filter to make it look more like a painting. I?ll add that to the author?s note so there is no confusion!

That is a great idea. People will appreciate the effort you made to make it appear as a painting.

I love the positive vibe of spring within your words here as the blossom and buds make an appearance and quell the winter's grip on the land, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from Blu Rider
I love how daffodils do that, with their little yellow trumpets in the air! Crocuses too, pure white innocence breaking through the snow and bringing sunshine with them.
I bet it was nice to write a haikuesque poem without the experts on your back for breaking some rule. Very well done sir. -Blu

I have a solitary daffodil?the first to bloom at my lake cabin. He?ll probably get his own haiku. Thanks Blu!

'Spring's Messenger', is short succinct and delightfully descriptive. Woven through each short line are the golden threads of truth. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. Good luck with the contest.

Hello Chris!
Your six word poem is a stunner!
Here in Michigan our rebuds bloom in May. When our son was a little boy, we would drive along our peninsula, and after I had pointed out to him that the tree on the corner, filled with purple blossoming fronds, was/is called a "redbud," everytime he saw one, he would say, "Redbud."
To this day, and he is now 32 years old, we sign off with "Redbud."
Thank you for sharing ... and the memory!
Best Wishes!

I must admit I never quite thought of spring being nature's trimeter, who wakes up the soul to coming joy of new life being raised from the depths of winter. Well done my friend, a great poem. Good luck, blessings Roy

This winter is too long and cold. It's time to welcome Spring.
Your poem: "heraldry, redbuds proclaim winter's defeat..." is well said to say good-bye to winter. I like four seasons... It gives people hope that at the end of each season that something else new is coming...Things good can restart again.
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Chris, this post has got to be a winner for sure.
Do you know what kind of plant has red buds, like these?
Or did you, just by chance see this picture on the Internet. and were inspired to write this beautiful poem, because of it?

No..this is a Texas redbud tree at my lake house. I ran it through a filter because I like the way it looked. Here?s the scientific name: Cercis canadensis var. texensis.
Thanks!
