Spring Has Awaken:

by Scott Cole   Apr 20, 2016


Slowly she opens up her eyes
After months of hibernation,
And she peers upon the World
With so much expectations.

As her skin color slowly appears
And with her strength picking up,
She paints the entire landscape
With lots of posies and buttercups.

She spruces up the green canopy
With views that draw a glare,
That will stop you in your tracks
And cause you to stop and stare.

For who will seize this opportunity
To run barefooted and fancy free,
And but frolic amongst her meadows
Beneath those shaded crooked trees..

    Scott, love the imagery in this.

    'For who will seize this opportunity
    To run barefooted and fancy free,
    And but frolic amongst her meadows
    Beneath those shaded crooked trees'

    This end stanza is a beautiful one. I can see myself doing this on warmer days be wise he grass beneath your bare feet is a lovely feeling but there's too much dog mess around here lol.

    That will stop you in your tracks
    And but make you stop and stare

    I feel this line would be better without 'and but' because you have already said you will be stopped in your tracks, you are just saying what's going to happened once stopped. How about using because of just taking them out altogether, if you feel it works.

    Take care, Em
