Prologue to Springtime

Listen to poem:

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.

This is so exquisitely delightful dear Sotto. I love every line and your descriptive words with the arrival of spring and its awakening. 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.

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 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.

Your descriptive lines made for a captivating read, dear Sotto. I especially liked 'whispered by Equinox...' The last line illustrated a beautiful aspect of spring. Wishing you a pleasant evening, your poetess friend in Texas, Sara
