Michelle Faulkner Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Blue Spring

A feast presented
Rainbow's revival
Yellows, pinks, purples
But colors cure blinds
Unrecovered eyes

Clinging wet clouds
Shadows over
Sovereign spring blooms
Laid at my feet

Sunlit touch
Does not salve
Winter's wounds

I see
Only

Blue.

Ovidiu Bocsa August 29, 2019 at 2:44 AM Lovely! Like in the song: And in each picture I meet you and only you, my spring.

Kim Rodrigues May 3, 2019 at 10:58 AM The depth of feeling...Spring does not relieve. Congratulations!

P.S. Awtry May 2, 2019 at 10:04 PM back with congratulations! :)

Andrea Dietrich May 2, 2019 at 7:37 PM how creatively you did the blue theme, Michelle. Congrats on a well deserved win.

P.S. Awtry April 27, 2019 at 8:07 PM This is a different take on the theme and one I am sure we all can relate to. Beautiful weather but gloomy inside :( Michelle Faulkner May 1, 2019 at 5:41 PM Yes, sometimes even perfect weather will leave me feeling a bit cold inside, thanks for your comment!

M. L. Kiser April 15, 2019 at 8:27 PM YYYYEEEESSSSSS! And then there's Blue, blue, blue, blue and even blue! If I seem to like blue...well... Michelle Faulkner April 16, 2019 at 7:56 AM Thanks, M.L, but in this case 'blue' means sad, like feeling blue, etc-

Gershon Wolf April 14, 2019 at 12:13 AM Perfect -- at least in the eyes of this beholder. G.L. in the contest, Michelle! Best wishes, Gershon Michelle Faulkner April 14, 2019 at 6:16 PM Thanks for your kind comment, my friend!

Janice Canerdy April 13, 2019 at 5:25 PM Michelle, your lovely poem is also realistic: spring's beauties don't heal all. Janice Michelle Faulkner April 14, 2019 at 6:14 PM We had a pretty spring day a while back, but I was in a 'blue' mood and couldn't enjoy it, which inspired this-
