Thank you Patrick - this is what Sahel's prompt - which he added my into, evoked from me as a sudden outpouring - but I hesitated to submit this poem as I felt there is a preference for a more traditional, Ode to Spring type of prettiness in verse form. I feel uncomfortable when an editor leaves neither claps not a comment as it means they accepted the poem as a basic sort of courtesy but do not really approve of it. So your validating words are good to receive!
