The First Signs that {Spring} has {Sprung} in Boston

Spring wrings from the city spent snow and used salt
Springing free of its bitter wintry spree
Springing buds, lavendering bare trees
Spring flings fresh smiles on strangers in the Common

Thousands of runners springing on feet from Hopkinton
And thousands more
Springing for
brunch outdoors

Spring brings bikes out on the river paths
Spring sings returning birds in baths
Spring swings right around
Exactly when we need it most
