The Pink Shadow

It is April Under red lily Peace moments go In your pink shadow In the face of spring A chiselled grace To embrace Blue sky Held in your wide eyes Earth is moist Green in the making With cool rejoice Handsome blue jay Weaving golden rays For the churns In your urns Murmurs galore From the shore We’ll walk hand in hand Struggles there are And will be too Nevertheless The scent of the dew Tying me and you Is for few moments Let us gather grain Any peak sip We can reap Let us do For It won’t come again ______________________________ April 3, 2016 Written in "Anacreontic Verse" for the Anacreontic Verse 3 - Poetry Contest Maximum syllable in a line :5 (as per www.howmanysyllables,com) Total lines: 31

This would have been perfect if not for the last two lines. If you had "for it won't" "come again" I'm sure Ed would have given it a high placement because it's one of the best I have read. I'm glad it was on the list!

Beautiful spring poem, Probir. I found the pink shadow imagery to be rather original, and the overall tone to be warm and inviting.
