Andrea Dietrich Poet Terzanelle

April, May and June: a Terzanelle

How beautiful are April, May and June.
All give enchantment as they come and go.
Each graces me by light of sun or moon.

Sun kisses earth so warmly with its glow.
Oh, April, May and June – their days I love.
All give enchantment as they come and go.

April’s fragrance always I want more of.
May arrives. The sweet perfume keeps coming.
Oh, April, May and June – their days I love.

Early spring – birds winging and bees humming,
yes, come late spring – I’m just as happy too.
May arrives. The sweet perfume keeps coming.

I ask you – how can anyone feel blue?
Why, even by spring’s end, I effervesce!
Yes, come late spring, I’m just as happy too.

June ushers in the summer with finesse.
How beautiful are April, May and June.
Why, even by spring’s end I effervesce!
Each graces me by light of sun or moon.

Jennifer Proxenos May 2, 2022 at 6:35 AM Hi Andrea a lovely Spring poem which melts away any cold, icy snowy day, each season has its splendor but Spring is like the rebirth of nature annually as you have so endearingly explained it to us the reader. Hope you are well - hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Sara Kendrick May 2, 2022 at 6:09 AM Reads like a good contender in the contest to me. Way to go. Those are usually some very good months to enjoy after the cold of winter and before the heat and humidity of summer. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Victor Buhagiar May 1, 2022 at 11:23 PM Spring is always my favorite season. But something happened this year. April is cloudy and hardly warm. Let's hope May brings its wonderful flowers. It's what I miss most.

Connie Marcum Wong May 1, 2022 at 8:17 PM A beautiful spring thru summer poem Andrea. This form is a bit of a challenge to make sure it is right. Well done! Blessings xxoo

John Loving Iii May 1, 2022 at 7:06 PM my spring turned into spring over night with my arrival to Phoenix, But your piece reminds me of the missing. the parts we wait for as the cold slowly goes away, And flowers celebrate by blooming. Looking around today I saw more leaves but I still have yet to see the seasons.

Judy Ball May 1, 2022 at 6:13 PM Beautifully said Andrea. I love Spring and Summer too. I sit in my garden among the flowers and bird song and just enjoy. Well done. God Bless, JB
