A Wish For Spring

A Wish For Spring a finely pleated skirt blossoms on a just new Spring afternoon then rushes back to wrap around legs strutting free of silk stockings bare feet glory in fresh green blades recently pushed above the earth suddenly soft mist of rain scatters all.

Spring is my favourite time of year...especially the month of May -- Oh how invigorating it all is around then! Lovely airy feel to your poem, Patricia -- how I already long for a new Spring! My very best wishes. :) john

This morning I read "Reverie" and "A Wish For Spring." I am sitting with a second cuppa, very amazed how your words call "HALT" to my morning mind! A reminder (thank you!) to slow down, to savor... moments. And words, such as yours, which poke holes in production— tasks imagined and fretted over. Being... comes to mind, rather than doing. Again, thanks. ~ j
