Hello George, this is a good time to suggest some poetry by Leonora
Speyer, which fits the spring theme:
Yes, spring's a good time to think of Leonora Speyer (for whom spring
was a frequent subject), but a better place would be in her own thread.
Speyer is almost forgotten these days, but was well known as both a
violinist and a poet in the early half of the 20th century, winning the
Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1927. She deserves her own place on aapc,
rather than just crammed in at the bottom of a thread on someone else.
Poetry by Leonora Speyer:

(That link looks odd but hopefully it'll work.)
Here's a link to 10 of Speyer's poems on the Academy of American Poets
site.
https://poets.org/poet/leonora-speyer
There's also a Wikipedia article on her, but I won't give that link.
Instead I'll link the Penny's Poetry Pages article, which is essentially >>> the same, but also includes links to both of her poetry collections, as
well as a video of one of her poems, "Spring Cowardice."

Again, good find.
