Anselmo Boles Poet Rhyme

Advent of Spring

Advent Of Spring



Reemerging sunlight magically illuminate a darkened alpine summit

Cloud lingered for an eternity now banished amidst surviving spruce

Spores through withered ground sprout anew like a recurring comet

Pristine water inundates bank of anonymous river nourishing moose



Above urban landscape people taste remnants of a variety of smells

Relishing April showers children emulate elfin leprechauns carousing

Cabs defying limousines vie for fares portraying overzealous gazelles

Memories of winter beneath a bluer sky heralds the advent of spring

When most of us gloat on rural landscape, you have delineated the urban life and change with the season's shift ! Beautiful poem Anselmo ! Anselmo Boles April 1, 2022 at 12:46 AM Humans are one of Mother Nature's seeds, and some of us prefer to thrive in congested, overcrowded concrete wildernesses. The peculiarity of Man... As always, your insight is truly sharp Valsa! Thanks, I treasure hearing from you...ab
