Spring Steam

.

                 Burrrrrr
          That Spring that
     backs press hard about
         twenty toes mingle
 fingers too cold to caress those
              shifting hips

                 Mmmm
          that Spring steam
                   from
            that Spring tea
      and through the window
that blazing Spring's morning sun
            beaming on her
                  glowing
                   happy
                 pink face

Nice cup of spring tea, Sir James. Love the energy of your message. So you've seen the painting, "The Kreutzer Sonata." However, it wasn't the famous painting that inspired my poem, but another by an artist I've never heard of. Love, daver

It reads as though spring hasn't quite gotten there yet..Enjoyed reading this very expressive and descriptive work..Thanks for stopping by..I think that I had finished my work "Watchman" when you read it but if not it is finished now..Sara
