Nap if you will
in this perfect spring
dormancy awakened
just before summer
breathes its dragon fervor
casting a sunburnt crust
over this new, vibrant beauty
this hint of a quasi-promise
weaving a fine thread of solace
all gone too soon
Apollo draws his
golden chariot
fueling in turn
both poetry and plague
past where the sorrow kids speak
past where the muted hearts weep
Spring’s herald song
vast glory in color
fading out
before the fire winds
parch the dull earth
cutting the soil into bits
like overbaked brownies
Bringing us out of charmed wonder
our fleeting lullaby
to greet that
mammoth sun
spinning solar fire
axis swirling like mad desire.
You make me miss the changing seasons… one drawback of living in a warm climate.
It sure is..if we are lucky, we have about 2 weeks of spring weather here.
Yeah, our spring is kind of weird too. It’s cloudy in the morning and then gets kind of hot in the afternoons. It actually lasts until a good portion of the summer until BAM! It’s unbearably hot and usually stays that was until November.
Lovely poem, great picture. There’s majesty in a lone tree on a hill, or a shore. Like a sentinel.
Thanks, I like that photo also….beautiful simplicity 🙂
Vivid picture of changing season.
Beautiful and so descriptive. Love the picture, also.
Thanks so much!
A beautifull Light of Day 🙂 perfect pictures👍
Thank you…I enjoy spring time 🙂
Beautiful! I try to enjoy fleeting spring and its colors while they last. Here in the Midwest, winter threatens to return even as the days get longer. But too soon, the puddles will disappear and my garden and flowerbeds will be the overbaked brownies of which you speak. Loved it. 🙂
Thanks. We have the opposite problem with the heat, it seems to last forever.
Lovely written imagery.
Thank you!
Excellent, again!
Thank you so much!
the picture drew me in instantly; and the poem kept me here and coming back 🙂
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
