Out On the Piazza

Chartreuse tassels hang quiet, still
Birds joyfully sing love's song
Roosters' melodies fill the hollow
Each greet spring gone so long

Charcoal clouds ruffled across blue
Cobalt could bring a shower
Wash golden forsythia's blooms
Loaded with blossom power

The still air loaded with pollen
Each plant seeking a mate
Some falling upon car and barn
Missed wind's transport to date

An egg yolk sun peeks through cobalt
Will it shine the whole day
Is there rain in those early clouds
Let joy exude come what may

Timothy Hicks Date: 3/19/2016 11:59:00 PM Not sure where my mind was at, Sarah. "Chartreuse" is not a word I hear often, and in fact the first time I heard it was in Silent's "Colourification Contest" ... so that's probably why I had contests in mind. Silly me! Login to Reply

Timothy Hicks Date: 3/18/2016 4:18:00 PM A homely farm scene with the egg yolk sun and the rooster melodies. Cool how you exalted the beauty of nature instead, in this poem ... most others I've read went in the Romance direction.

Paul Callus Date: 3/18/2016 10:05:00 AM In Maltese a 'piazza' is a square; I take yours as meaning a veranda...watching the beauty of spring, listening to birds singing; lovely imagery. Spring showers would be most welcome in Malta! ~ regards // paul Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 3/18/2016 11:33:00 AM I use a lot of archaic words..Once in the US it was used to mean a porch..Words gone from the language but are still a word..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara
