Sunlit Awakening

Sloom's suspended wish
Egressed from the winter hush
Frolicked with sunshine

   -- Araya

Freedom of the Spring

Soft breeze wafts inside,
Spring is here, let's go explore!
A new adventure.

The flowers do bloom,
With soft grass between my toes,
A forgotten love.

The sunlight pours down,
Warming my fur and spirit,
I feel such freedom.

   -- Archery

Awaken

Dreams, sometimes broken
Reality comes abroad
The morning is here

   -- Arro

No Snowcone for me

Walking along in
the wintery slush I came
to the sudden thought

while looking at the
beautiful spring flowers which
popped up from the white

Red, yellow, brown all
good colors in spring but not
when seen in the snow.

   -- Asetra Tano

Wake up Mrs. Skunk!

Hello Mrs Skunk,
Is that you sleeping in a trunk?
Wake up for me please!

I'll get on my knees,
It's spring, I can hear the bees,
They're buzzing through trees,

Baby Skunk is up,
His head is stuck in a cup!
please Mrs Skunk, do wake up!

   -- Bucephalus

Unbearable Circumstances

Searched for some honey
Head stuck in an empty pot
Oh, how the bees tease

Crawled into the cave
Bats decided it was theirs
Fleeing the guano

Tried to hibernate
Spent the winter counting sheep
Now just craving lamb

   -- Chronos Arcus

Spring in motion

Young birds flutter past
Flowers obscure small insects
Lazy shadow trails

Soft rain shower falls
Blossoms tremble on a stem
Clouds blot out the sun

Child shrieks in delight
Lush growth heedlessly trampled
Housebound no longer

   -- Dawnie

A New Season

Snow Drops melt swiftly
Sweet Dreaming Creatures Waken
Winter is over

   -- Deathdog

First Breath of Spring

Chase away the snow,
Blissful light and life anew,
Wistfully I watch,

From the burrow, gone,
The bees in buzzing chorus,
Smells and colours bright,

The birdsong carries,
I breathe the first breath of spring,
Sleep no more, I wake,

   -- Diego Watson

Hibernation

Time to wake up the
Mother bear from her denning.
Spring! Cries out the snow.

   -- Dylan

Hibernation, from a Viewpoint

Hibernation is But a world of white,
of which Caresses our heads Sleeping peacefully,
Snow lays upon us, With the power of the mind.

From the evergreens,
To the snow-covered trees,
The creatures sleep calmly.

Newborn Animals Beside them their siblings sleep,
So calm and, so pure. Old trees, and small plants,
They wither and subside, yet,

Once dead, come back alive.
Rejuvenation This word will always renew,
from now ‘til the end!

   -- Emo Nostalgia

Spring

Once the sun rises
Up above the horizon
Freshly we begin

To awake that song
That echoes throughout the trees
Oh so blissfully

Now beneath the stars
We howl to the newborn moon
The breeze on our hair

   -- Epidome

Paragon

Tentative morning honeyed
sunshine warms the air,
time for all to wake.

Hear the joyful noise,
sweetly whispered promises
carried by the wind.

Rapture incarnate,
All the world has come alive,
celebrating spring.

   -- Everfall

Out you come

Winter soon thaws out
And now spring may come along.
Out you come to play!

It has been so long,
Please hibernate no longer,
Out you come to eat.

Little kittens mew:
"A new year has now begun!
Out you come to live."

   -- Experience

Migration

The birds have returned,
Returning to their bare homes,
To start life anew.

   -- Eyeball

A Spring Song

The snow is melting
and many flowers blooming
Wake up, little dear!

Brush dust from your fur
and wipe the sleep from your eyes
Spring, at last, is here!

Come dance and come fly
under this beautiful sky-
It's so warm and bright and clear!

   -- Falsify

Spring hath Sprung

Thine sweet scents shroud thee air
Thoust shall break hibernation
Awake, spring hath sprung

   -- Flooki

Little Bear

See the little bear,
How he wakes up so early.
He is so hungry.

Watch the little bear,
Fishing for his breakfast now;
Fresh caught ice cold fish.

The little bear loves
The fresh smell of a new Spring,
And he is happy.

   -- Gilbert

Transition

Lifeblood of the Earth,
in slumber through Winter's reign.
Sense the change draw near

A new wind whispers
as birdsong heralds the dawn.
Time has come to wake

Glittering expanse,
sunder bonds of frigid tomb.
Thunder your release

   -- Glaciess

Longnames

Am' Hibernation
Second kiss of death preview
Fairytale ends

En' Hibernation
Four horses tie to stall doors
Promised prodigy

Sh' Hibernation
My employment is simple
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep.

   -- Glory

Hedgehog and Frog

Winter had finished,
Look! The snow has diminished,
Oh, how bliss is this,

Hedgehog sleeps on logs,
When he wakes says 'hi' to frogs,
But he hides from dogs,

He woke up frightened,
His spines had very much tightened,
The Sun had lightened,

Hedgehog saw a frog,
'Oh, thank god you're not a dog',
The frog was called Mog,

Hedgehog was called Pie,
'Where you wanna go frog eye?',
'We go to the sky'.

   -- Hazel-Rah

Freshness

Oh velvet blossom
How you so welcome my wake
Such tender new warmth

   -- Humorist

Renewed

Long, dead silence, then:
Chattering of birds on high
Blooming, sun-filled spring.

   -- Israfel Vladimir

Rebirth

The ground becomes warm,
From the earth new life will grow,
Within the suns rays.

   -- Izekial

Vernal Movements

Paw pads wet with frost
Melting in the light of day
We dance in blossoms

   -- Jav

Awake to Heaven

Nap time's over now
Elysium calls dreamers
The world is awake

   -- JayZ4Real

Waking up

The sun shines down here
The smell of spring is so near
Everything is clear

   -- Jazz

Jujinka's Calling

Azure wings glisten
as their first flutters call forth
the dawning of spring.

Sprinkling lover's dust
she sways each day to linger,
cradled by the sun.

Beneath her, roots stir,
sending tender shoots to hail
a vivified realm.

   -- Kaelie

Purity of Spring

From sleep I awake
Fresh beauty filling senses
All that taints is cleansed

   -- Kagome Inu

Like Clockwork

Our clocks sprung forward
And the world is born anew,
Like clockwork, well-planned.

From their dens emerge
Those who slept through winter's cold,
From south, birds return

To a well-loved home
Lit by fresh new greenery,
Until next year comes.

   -- Kono

Forgotten Resolutions

Let my fat rolls breathe.
Oh, new year's resolution,
I could not care less.

   -- Krista

Snow to Life

From the cave through cold,
Flowers bloom from snow at last,
This spring singing life.

   -- Kunabee

Revival

The light is warm again,
A soft nudge to those sleeping,
It's time to wake up.

   -- Kye

Kit blooming

Young flox awakens.
Petals stretch and ears warm.
I feel beautiful.

   -- Leeden

Dawn Chorus

Beautiful blackbird,
Stealing people from the night
Quicker than the dawn.

Warblers and finches,
Tawny Owl, Robin and Wren -
Gatekeepers of day.

   -- Lenient

The Bear

Nose twitching with spring
Stretching huge, yawning so wide
The sleepy bear wakes

   -- Lothus Marque

Spring Time

Barren empty branches blossom
Poppies bursting birds singing
Color everywhere

A gentle breeze
Manipulate dry leaves
A ballad

Beautiful green grass
Between my toes
It is spring

   -- Lucille

Akitu

Darkness absconded,
Permeating radiance,
Spring exulted time.

   -- Mad Hatress

Thinking Like A Bear

The end of winter
It is here, do not fear it
It's time to wake up

Roaring so loudly
It will wake anyone up
Winter is over

   -- Masaya

It's Here -- Spring Is Here!

It's here -- Spring is here!

The birds are singing
While trees shed their icy sleeves
It's here -- Spring is here!

Flowers greet the sun
Leaves unfurl to catch the dew
It's here -- Spring is here!

The ice is melting
Trickle, trickle goes the stream
It's here -- Spring is here!

   -- Migoto

For The Love of Spring

The whole world, frozen.
Sleeping, and maybe dreaming.
But I'd rather wake.

But lo, rain arrives!
Flora and fauna arise,
Green leaves dance once more.

So I venture out
to take in nature's beauty
and feel truly blessed.

   -- Mokura Radikai

A Spring Shower

Rain falls to the earth
The flowers of Spring bloom
A delicate song

A new beginning
The sound of rushing rain
Such sweet melodies

The first flower buds
All because of the rain
It is time to wake

   -- Nano-chan

Permafrost

With each frosted breath,
I exhaled sleep from my lips,
And awoke, anew.

   -- Neat

The Seasons Flow

The snow is melting,
The flowers will start to grow,
Summer will come soon.

   -- Nytehorn

Dreadful Spring

She's cold and alone
And she finds when she awakes
Another year past

   -- Oamey

My First Adventure of the Year

They told me wake
They told me I could grow--bloom!
I turned them away.

I was much too shy
To come out of my dark cave.
“Let this cold seed lie“…

Then I felt the sun.
I welcomed Spring--My first friend.
My first adventure.

   -- Peli

Spring Spirits

Little kitterwing,
Fluttering so busily about,
Bringing flowers life.

   -- Pho

First songbird

Whisper soft wing beats,
Warbling songs fill fragrant air,
Life breaks the silence.

   -- PIPA

Flowers

Flowers wake me up
The snow makes me go to sleep
The spring brings me life

   -- Pome

Obsticles

I open my eyes,
But I'm blinded by the sun.
But soon I adjust.

I try to stand up,
But my muscles have stiffened.
Soon I overcome.

I wander outside,
And think- Does everyone else
face these challenges?

   -- Qween Elizbeth

Jumping into Spring

Peeking out its head
The tiny frog awakened
From its winter sleep.

Jumping to and fro
The creature happily leapt
Into the pond.

The water glistened
Spring had finally arrived
The snow had melted.

   -- Shize

Heralds of Spring

Yellow is the Spring
Always Season's first to bloom
Eager for Sunlight

   -- Snow White

The Forest Awakens

A hush has fallen
But soon it shall be broken
The frost has melted

The forest revives
Sleepy critters greet the day
Basking in the warmth

Spring has come at last
The forest has awakened
Hibernation ends.

   -- Solara

Awaken Spring

Awaken in spring
Kasuria lives again
greeting the flora

   -- Tarra

Bloom

Daisies rising up
breaking through the snow in bursts
Bright, cold, beautiful

   -- Teigan

Moonlit Spring

‘Twas autumn come,
my Dear And sleep doeth us apart
Thy blanket of night

And Winter hath bed
The white world around myself
I missed your beauty

In the Moonlight Spring
I have seen thee Mystery Thy best
I greet thee

   -- Telelia

Hibernation

Yawning, Waking, Growl.
Foraging, Eating, Surviving.
Growling, Yawning, Sleep.

   -- Thom

Hello, Spring!

Ursines stretch
and shift natural cork filled butts
toward your nice shoes

   -- Trisma
