Spring Breakers
As March unfolds, with eager blooms in sight, A band of youth, in laughter's sweet embrace, Embarks on journeys, long roads they take, With sun-kissed dreams, they race through days. They find themselves beneath vast, azure skies, Where waves dance gently upon sandy shores, In moments caught between their hopeful sighs, A freedom found, in heartbeats it implores. The nights alight with fire's warm glow, Stories told, where secrets softly spill, Underneath the moon's tender, watchful show, Promises made, in the chill of spring's thrill. Yet, as fleeting as the cherry blossoms' bloom, This break from life, too soon will meet its end, But in their hearts, these memories will loom, A tapestry of youth, on which they'll always depend.

Inspirations Behind
As I crafted “Spring Breakers,” I found myself reminiscing about the fervor of youth and the poignant beauty of fleeting moments. Inspired by the vivid imagery of spring—the blossoming flowers, the clear skies, and the vibrant landscapes—I sought to encapsulate the essence of spring break, not just as a holiday, but as a rite of passage. The warmth of the fireside chats, the exhilaration of exploring new places, and the introspection that comes with stepping outside of one’s daily routine, all fed into the narrative. This poem is a homage to those unforgettable days where the weight of the world seems to lift, if only for a moment, allowing us to dream under the boundless sky
