Welcome, Spring

Grab tightly your colored ribbon.
Dance ‘round the pole with abandon.
Craft tissue flowers and spray before
You take them to your neighbor’s door.
Present them with an engaging smile
Wishing a happy May Day, all the while.
An old-time holiday we’re celebrating,
But it’s how we say, “Hello, Spring!”

Paula Frew
Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
You can find Paula on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
