I’ve shed the melancholy of winter
No longer walking head down into the icy wind.
Spring’s longer days and warm hues
brighten my mood.
Chin up, I take notice that
change is blooming.
Students commit to colleges.
Days grow longer.
Birds build nests.
Baseball stadiums welcome fans.
Candidates share platforms.
Temperatures rise to balmy.
Graduates accept new jobs.
Sweatshirts replace down coats.
Diners eat al fresco.
Exercisers fill the trails.
March transitions into April.
The Way I See It 
So interesting that change can be perceived as positive or negative, but it’s how we choose to see it. Of course, here I am lamenting the allergies, lack of Spring Break, losing favorite colleagues, etc. This post was just the pick-me-up I needed!

I like how you go from having your “head down into the icy wind” to raising your chin up. We see the world so differently when our chins are up, when we are no longer fending off the cold.

Each change you add helps launch me into the warner days of April ahead. Thanks for the much needed uplifting!

Your first two lines share so much about Winter, and spring is covered with many lines. The contrast exposed cleverly.
