It's been a long, cold winter. Please write a poem about the beauty of spring. Include the words: scent, pink, vibrant, sunlight, delicate. I will be choosing the winning entry, so keep in mind I'm looking for sensual writing that helps me feel spring!
Arrival of Persephone
In a single whisper of her miracle
Dawn crawled through the trees
Her presence scared the winter mister
O, meet her majesty, Queen Persephone!
The woman's awakening prompted nature
To embrace a freshly crafted dress
Lively tailored by the queen of spring
Oozing the scent of jasmines and cypress
From her delicate hands sprouted a meadow
Tulips and lilies drizzled with bliss
Other fields awaitened such marvel
Teeming with desire for sunlight's kiss
The queen herself fondly treasured
The sinking pink sky at the outcome of a day
Yet soon the vibrant scenery would cease
As well as the fragrance of her play
Dismay hardly troubled her
For the sun, flowers, grass could perish
But the people reborn with this tide
Would await another spring to cherish
