Birds twitter outside my window
in lusty tones of sparkling glee,
welcoming spring flowers boldly
poking their heads from winter sleep.
Morning breaks in cloudy yellows.
Birds twitter outside my window,
inviting me to gently rise,
greet blossoming day with wonder.
Grey squirrel scampers across lawn
greening after yesterday's rain.
Birds twitter outside my window,
watched carefully by neighbor's cat.
Squirrel digs for buried acorn,
harassed by backyard mockingbird.
Oak trees prepare to freshly bud,
birds twitter outside my window.

Hi My name is Mona. I just want to share my experience with the world on how I got my love back and saved my marriage… I was married for 7 years with 4 kids and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and arguments almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me cause I loved him with all my heart and didn't want to lose him but everything just didn't work out… he moved out of the house and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster Dr Zuma, who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly cause I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and cast a love spell on him. Within 24hours he called me and was sorry for all the emotional trauma he had cost me, he moved back to the house and we continue to live happily, the kids are happy too and we are expecting our fourth child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with relationship problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience cause I strongly believe someone out there needs it… You can contact him on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com

This poem does a great job conveying spring's (and the poet's) awakening.

Particularly love the progression of that repeated line, as the poet wakes and rises during the length of the poem, preparing to freshly bud himself for the new day.
