Today is my anniversary - April 19th.

*My heart grieves because my mom died in April 2021

~                                           ~                                    ~                                  ~

I had fun brushing the sky, with its impeccable blue, then a sweep here and there of cloud’s silvery lining. A few waffled spots amplified the intensity of hue. Screws lightly driven at the base, release grassy knots. A verdant green tenderly arcs toward the florid intimacy. The blades of Spring, frothing, wild, free, like slingshots. A xanthous sun surmised in the center-peak, brightening the early american-orange blend that postulates a fence. All before the placement of strong, sturdy, heightening. Panels contain state-of-the-art gray-green stems and leaves. Within the folds of the sun, magenta-pink petals. On left, yellow and purple blossoms. On right, red and white cleaves. Multi-hues spell out Love Blooms. Letters hidden in the grass. It is Spring, a time to revive. It is April - my heart grieves, but it is also alive with forty-four companion years for a lad & lass.

Congratulations on your 44 years and for your poem. Sorry about your mum. We learn to cope but never forget... "..a xanthous sun.." I learn new words all the time at The Soup. :) Cheers - Gary

I agree, we find a place for our grief. Thank you. Glad you liked the xanthous sun! I had fun making this sign at my sister’s business “Board and Brush.”
