Emile Pinet Poet Monchielle Stanza

A Dank Day

Today is a dank day,
veiled by a sullied sun
cloudy and overcast,
casting shifting shadows:
breezes blow, hard and fast.

Today is a dank day,
as dribbling drops of rain
water a thirsty earth:
nurturing Nature and
hastening its rebirth.

Today is a dank day
turning white into green,
Spring sends sap to the trees
and as their buds unfurl:
the soil starts to unfreeze.

Today is a dank day,
amidst drizzling showers:
yet, it's a sign that Spring
is indeed on Her way:
causing songbirds to sing.

Andrea Dietrich April 30, 2022 at 2:52 PM This is SO creative, Emile. I am feeling kind of bad now reading the poems on my list again and thinking, hmm, maybe I should have just done four placements instead of five because I'm noticing many of my fourth placed ones were pretty much as great as the other third place winners!!! Congrats and thanks so much for my win in your wonderful recently judged contest. Emile Pinet April 30, 2022 at 3:55 PM Thanks, Andrea, I appreciate your comments and welcome the placement. Contests are always hard to judge, my friend, Emile.

L Milton Hankins April 23, 2022 at 7:30 PM Stunningly well-done, my friend. I'm so happy to see your post, considering recent events. I see this at the top of the list, indeed! I hesitate to tell you this, but it was approaching 90 degrees here in Kentucky today with a beautiful clear blue sky. Emile Pinet April 24, 2022 at 7:17 AM Thanks, Milt, I envy you with such warm temps, here it is pretty much as I described, stay safe, I'm still getting over covid, but things are improving slowly, my friend, Emile.
