What a season spring is in the UK! Supposedly the start of warm, calm, dry weather, we’ve often experienced frosty cold days and nights and sometimes even snow. The following poem embraces our theme of contradictions in relation to springtime.

A Season Of Both Night And Day

It’s spring; differences at play
Flowers bloom and rain falls
A season of both night and day

Strong winds and skies are grey
Yet sunshine thaws the walls
It’s spring; differences at play

Cool air, but hearts are gay
Nature answers the warming calls
A season of both night and day

Fresh buds in its array
Amid melting icy squalls
It’s spring; differences at play

Singing birds flying away
To answer nature’s calls
A season of both night and day

World awakening from its stay
In winter’s cold dark halls
It’s spring; differences at play
A season of both night and day
