Rainsong On Sunday Morn

There’s rainsong on Sunday morn. The herald of Springtime reciting. A chorus of wings in the changeover. Unrelenting litany of praise from fowl. Nature, humble and knowing, cheeps loud and not silent, healing with peace. Chirping, stirring, Winter to be released. Forget the shadow of groundhog, lean into the melody of a wet ground, awaiting the plow and seeds, daffodils and hot sun. Sing O earth, be rattled by resurrection. What the robins and blue jays know. What common man, with hope not despair, hands opening the book where bonnie notes ebb and flow on fiery tongues, in air, shared on this very late Winter, a Sunday morn. 2/27/2022

WOW! Enjoyed the song from start to finish. There's lovely rhythm to your free verse. "Sing O earth, be rattled by resurrection. What the robins and blue jays know." and much more. A FAVE for me Kim.

Your style here is so reminiscent of a classic poet, but I just can't put my finger on him. Maybe it's Frost. Perhaps Wordsworth. At any rate, first-class rate, Kim! Kudos, Gershon

Kim, it's been cold here. This certainly lifted my spirit. I can't wait to see those song birds arrive. Blessings ~ Debra
