Juvenal Spring - Anacreontic Verse

It's spring time
with its budding
buds and peeping
leafies creeping
out from their cosy
axils in the stems.
Fresh fragrance
smears the air
with the early blooms
smiling away,
wooing willing hearts
waking from the bleak
of winter cold.
Juvenal-
the whiff of youth,
fresh sap coursing
red ichor infused with 
a redder red
as life itself
equates to thrill
and  being alive.
Welcome, Spring-
dawn of life re-defined.

Jan Allison Date: 4/9/2016 10:55:00 AM Beautiful imagery Karam - do check the final line I make it 6 syllables:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Karam Misra Date: 4/9/2016 12:28:00 PM Thank you, Jan. You are right about the 6 syllables in the last line - there was a toss-up between "defined" and "re-dwfined" - I chose the latter. Karam Misra Date: 4/9/2016 12:27:00 PM Thank you, Jan.
