The Transformation To Spring (poem)

Well, everyone has been posting their first signs of Spring, but there are none to be seen here. Indeed, we even got hail this morning! It's so very sad....so, in the spirit of wishing Spring a fast arrival (and since my muse has been bothering me to write again) I wrote a quick couplet poem about it. ^_^

Jack Frost comes out and bows his head;
The world renews, his kingdom dead

The sun, awoken at last, is found
And lays to waste the icy ground

Like Faust, falling on his knees
And bowing, hails Mephistopheles,

The icy king concedes his throne
For Persephone to make her own;

And thus the revolution ends:
So Spring makes Winter's harsh amends.

Not any buds just here quite yet, Jenn. Jake and I went for a walk the other day and there were pink buds along the mountains in the distance and it was beautiful to see, but none that we saw here.
