For spring, from Americanpoems.com.
from Spring and All / by William Carlos Williams
One by one objects are defined—
It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf
But now the stark dignity of
entrance—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted they
grip down and begin to awaken

For whirlwinds and bonfires, from The Burial of the Count of Orgaz & Other Poems, by Pablo Picasso.
from 5 July 1937 / by Pablo Picasso
livid festoon stars on the sleeve lilacs of her corsage homage of the almond green sigh of courage
For wisdom, from The House on Marshland (1971).
from The Magi / by Louise Glück
Toward world’s end, through the bare
beginnings of winter, they are traveling again
For a change of scenery, perhaps a spring track meet in the rain in a distant city, from Four Quartets.
from East Coker: III / by T. S. Eliot
As, in a theatre,
The lights are extinguished, for the scene to be changed
With a hollow rumble of wings, with a movement of darkness on
darkness,
And we know that the hills and trees, the distant panorama
And the bold imposing façade are all being rolled away —
For one of the dearest, from 77 Dream Songs.
from Dream Song #30 / by John Berryman
& I took up a pencil;
like this I’m longing with
For the tiniest things, like this one last tiny extra day of February, from Poetry, February 1961.
from 2 little whos / by E. E. Cummings
(2 little ams
and over them this
aflame with dreams
incredible is)
