A spur-of-the-moment poem for an etheree contest about Spring.  Used the ancient Greek myth about Persephone that explains the seasons.

Gray, Dismal Rainy days. Then leafless trees, As it gets warmer, All start to sprout new buds. Migratory birds appear. Abandoning the underworld, And the ruler of the dead, Hades, Persephone returns to Demeter.
