Spring Prism - POTD

Spring Prism

Prisms leap
From the wombs of raindrops
Born on bits of sunshine
Spring kaleidoscope 
In flowing ribbons,
A floral bouquet
Joined then translated into
Flames of crimson roses
Beams of orange tulips
And rays of new chartreuse leaves
Beacons of pale bluebells
Purples shafts of hyacinth and lilacs
When color trickles into a sunbow
Like springs released
Bursting into a fountain of rainbows –
Light wakes hibernating hues of shadows.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 5/29/2025 3:43:00 AM With your wonderful Spring poem of leaping prisms from pregnant dripping raindrops which catch rays of sun within a flower filled garden, an ecstatic array of colors resembling rainbows which pop and burst into a magnificent kaleidoscope of colors, truly look richly surreal. SUCH A GEM, BRAVO DEAR FRIEND. Congratulations on a much deserved P.O.T.D. Enjoy the honor. Hugs, Blessings, Jennifer. Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 5/29/2025 2:12:00 PM Greetings, dear friend! Your message has lifted my heart like seeing a spring garden. When writing I kept thinking about the dewdrop being a birthplace for the colors and flowers of the rainbow! With your perceptive eye for poetry you have focused on one of the main essences of this poem. So gratifying! Thank you for your congratulations, dear friend. I hope you and your family are safe with all that is going on in SA! In my prayers! Sending blessings of protection!

Alesia Leach Date: 5/24/2025 6:08:00 PM This poem is pure light! “Prisms leap / from the wombs of raindrops” is such a stunning, fresh image. You’ve made spring not just seen, but felt--alive with color and motion. I especially loved “a fountain of rainbows”--it reads like nature’s own celebration. Absolutely worthy of POTD.
