Comes the sun prancing among budding trees,
Whiffs of spring freshness waft on the air
Tingling ice crystals melt, drip from branches
Ghostly visions of winter silently disappear
High-flying geese broadcast their return
Squirrels scamper, robins build nests
Shoots sprout, flowers awaken
Flora, Goddess of Spring, is here

Author Notes
"In Roman mythology, Flora was a goddess of flowers and flowering plants, both the fruit bearing ones and the ornamental ones. She also came to represent the season of spring. While she was otherwise a relatively minor figure in Roman mythology, being one among several fertility goddesses, her association with the spring gave her particular importance at the coming of springtime."
