Writing Exercise: Spring and the Five Senses

Spring is coming forth at last. Snow will be no more, and soon the flowers will once again rise from the Earth. In this writing activity, use the five senses to define spring. Floral and poetic, describe what spring is, and what it means to you.cherry blossomsAs winter dies, and as the sacred sun becomes common, the season of Spring brings forth its bold, amiable appearance. She shares her gospel of warmth and abundance of greenery. Snow becomes water, water becomes mud, and muddy water becomes part of the Earth, residing deep within the groundwater catacombs. The moist Earth which was once water, which was once snow, nurtures and gives birth to ground flowers of all colors, grass of great green, and insects rising from hibernation. Soon, the trees will no longer be gray skeletons of their former selves, soon the sun will no longer hide itself in shyness, and soon the summer birds will return to take residency in the north once again. When Spring arrives, she will turn the air into a warm and delightful scent, as prior to her arrival,the air was crisp and empty like a vacuum. The Sun will shine brighter and share his vitamin D, and the waves on the beach will roar once again. Grass will be able to be walked on again, and the sound of the leaves will be heard. Oh, Spring…please come sooner.
