This pic is spring in all her glory, yes the birds in the trees, but also all of the other beautiful blooms and emotions of this season. Another tight one dude

Curly Grace, what a great opening line: “She walks on the edge of the wind”. While I enjoyed reading the entirety of your poem, that last verse will be remembered by me. Poets, poetry, should never be “contained” or constrained. -Curt
