Green In Spring

A coastline laps with glistening waves Dotted with light from its shore-bed unseen, While fragrance of air and gull’s trill filter Through leafy boughs varnished in shamrock green. How this breathtaking view warms my senses Where tinted sands like nuggets of a jade, Beguile dreamy feet to tap, to tiptoe On lime stones, pebbles, daintily arrayed. From fibrils of tides the woven moss rides That gently, evening drapes the isle with ease Softer the ripples in patterns that hold A verdant calm between water and trees Endowing new March a treasure’s delight That rails this juncture, bright as emerald… And I, a lucky charm of this fresh luster Delight in the gush bearing spring’s reward.

http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/soon_to_be_poem_of_the_day_657237 I keep thinking about the terrible German plane crash and all of the people who won't get a chance to enjoy April. How sad. If you get a chance read my poem regarding it and comment on it. Jim Horn
