Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Rainsong On Sunday Morn

There’s rainsong on Sunday morn.
The herald of Springtime reciting.
A chorus of wings in the changeover.
Unrelenting litany of praise from fowl.

Nature, humble and knowing, cheeps
loud and not silent, healing with peace.
Chirping, stirring, Winter to be released.

Forget the shadow of groundhog, lean
into the melody of a wet ground, awaiting
the plow and seeds, daffodils and hot sun.

Sing O earth, be rattled by resurrection.
What the robins and blue jays know.

What common man, with hope not despair,
hands opening the book where bonnie notes
ebb and flow on fiery tongues, in air, shared
on this very late Winter, a Sunday morn.

Vijay Pandit February 28, 2022 at 5:10 AM WOW! Enjoyed the song from start to finish. There's lovely rhythm to your free verse. "Sing O earth, be rattled by resurrection. What the robins and blue jays know." and much more. A FAVE for me Kim. Kim Rodrigues February 28, 2022 at 7:33 AM Thank you so much, Vijay!

Jeff Kyser February 28, 2022 at 4:30 AM Very nice, yes, Sing, O earth indeed! Kim Rodrigues February 28, 2022 at 7:33 AM Thank you, Jeff!

Gershon Wolf February 27, 2022 at 6:47 PM Your style here is so reminiscent of a classic poet, but I just can't put my finger on him. Maybe it's Frost. Perhaps Wordsworth. At any rate, first-class rate, Kim! Kudos, Gershon Kim Rodrigues February 28, 2022 at 7:33 AM Thank you so much, dear friend!

Debra L Brown February 27, 2022 at 5:16 PM Kim, it's been cold here. This certainly lifted my spirit. I can't wait to see those song birds arrive. Blessings ~ Debra Kim Rodrigues February 28, 2022 at 7:33 AM Hope they warm you up soon with birdsong! :)
