Vernality

 Day-2 NaPoWriMo-2022

Prompt: To write a poem devoted to obscure and interesting English words. I have taken a word from a featured tweet by Haggard Hawks.

There is a zing in the air

The fragrance of life

Seeps through the skin

A pristine muse 

Assails the senses, announcing

The time of vernality

The shivered earth

Burst into verdant hues

There is a kaleidoscope of shades

Kissing the earthiness

The melody of a prism

Whispers through the branches

The air echoes as hummingbirds get busy

Suckling on the blooming sweetness

The colorful butterflies

Dance and prance through the foliage

While the buzzing  honeybees

Trumpet the dawn of new pastures

Hope springs lustily

As Spring springs in breezily!

Word of the Day: VERNALITY (n.) the spring, a spring-like quality; the greenness and freshness of springtime [1600s]
