The Onslaught of spring

Bleak times came, dignity not spared, winterstripped away and bared, left subdued, contented,retracted by the awakening of Eostre, with calmand life restored, bare laden paths gave colouronce more, snowdrops subdued succumbed, sleeping,

The poem in of itself is descriptive of winters end and springs beginning But ( just a little however now) Onslaught , something about using that word with spring I would think of winter as a brutal onslaught , or the summers heat as an onslaught but spring is more of an awakening or revival or better still a rebirth something calm and soothing but then that is just one opinion Chrys

Hi Chrys

The points you raise, Having penned late at night and posting, I suppose tiednes it seemed to sit quite well, Then reading with fresh mind, As always i hate to say your right, Frantically scouring the dictionary for any justiforcation "But"- failed, so back to the drawing board.....and will respectfully amend, Plus a new heading........, Thanks for caring and your thoughtful imput, Peter

Thanks for your comments

Who or what is Eostre, Eostre - Goddess of Spring, Rebirth, Fertility and New Beginnings, Believed to have come from the celtic times, Hope that helps, Thanks for stopping by, Very Best regards Peter
