That can emerge to brightenspace like this.
Humanmovement is a miracle
Of motion managed to be meaningful.

I love my left hand and my right one too.
Each understands exactly what to do.
My handy two are always near
With finger five efficiency to readjust reality
The value of their herefulness Is clear
A finger is a truly handy thing.
All ten of mine are awesome when they fling
Five fingers are not accidental ones.
They are the sculpture under countless suns
For usefulness upon two arms they stay
So near to be a billion years away.
My muscles are the sunshine of my mind:
They turn me to newsee beforebehind.

Is still and peaceful so deceptively.
The most explicit marvelicity
Is trulytwoly new humanity.

There is no greater wonder than to be;
No greater than to go, to think, to see
And all the other wonders we
So marvelously do.
Humanity is wonder coming true

The Last Snowfall
The million tracks of winter’s going
Are in the air for it is snowing
One last time before the ground
Will blossom into grass around
Like magic carpets in the air
They travel freely everywhere
And each one lands to mark the place
Where spring will tie a green shoelace.
The winter’s battle flags of white
Surrendering to springtime’s might,
The last big snowfall of the year
Will always find me sitting here
To watch another winter go
Upon a million wings of snow.

Locksley Hall (excerpt)
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
....
In the Spring a fuller crimson comes upon the robin's breast;
In the Spring the wanton lapwing gets himself another crest;
In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish'd dove;
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
....
Spring
Spring is an always welcome lovesurprise:
The days explode excitement into eyes
And bring the coloruniverse we prize.
