Prologue to Springtime

Written: April 22, 2024

                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whimsical whispers of spring wallow,
     Awakening from nature's languid tingle.
          You were maundering to strike back,
            A euphonic kaleidoscope garden bloom.

Switching back won't suffice this time,
      Changing seasons can't be tucked away.
              In the depths of the spring warmth,
                Embedded in the depths of your being.

Whispered by Equinox, an alias I once knew,
    We are in a nexus by a motley thread.                        
          In a world so bright, all else fades away,
                  I'll remain adorned in pristine periwinkle.

I love the opening line especially. Also,’ In a world so bright, all else fades away’. So enjoyed reading and admiring it as always from your unique, gifted pen. Blessings to you.

Valsa George April 24, 2024 at 9:57 PM As Nature wakes up from her wintry nap, spring arrives with teeming colors and vibrant life. This poem celebrates the thrill of anticipation of a better phase of life. With spring, "a euphonic kaleidoscope garden blooms". Lovely image. There is much lyrical beauty in this poem.... ! " I'll remain adorned in pristine periwinkle." An arresting conclusion.

The opening lines evoke a sense of anticipation and renewal as nature stirs from its winter slumber, while the phrase "whimsical whispers of spring wallow" conjures images of delicate blossoms and gentle breezes.

Hilda Greenhough April 22, 2024 at 8:15 PM The overwhelming colors of spring are now in bloom. I liked how you started softly, slowly with a beginning garden and ended with a vignette of the speaker looking from the outside.
