Revival Time

Enrapture me, sweet radiance of beams. As April takes her leave, I now implore you. Fall upon me amber as in dreams you came to me when cold was at my door. Anoint me, oh sun, with rays of gold. With spring’s arrival I’ve been made as clean as drifts of peaceful clouds that heavens hold; rinsed hopeful as the earth arrayed in green. I walk midst meadow flowers, face upturned as warmth like honey pours onto my skin. The mirthless months are gone! My spirit yearned for a rebirth, so now I take you in. My only sin- neath winter’s pall I pined with flagging faith for sacrament of sunshine.

A wonderful paean to your love affair with the sun. I just love the line "as warmth like honey pours onto my skin". I share that joy; the perfect relaxation of being in the sun, unencumbered by time constraints is like heaven on earth to me. I'm lucky to live where there is a lot of sunshine, I'd probably be a basket case anywhere else! Loved this.

May the spring never depart when winter enters in your heart. May sunshine rain on your parade and springtime beauty never fade. Luck.

Australia will be going into their springtime at the equinox on September 21. I'm sure Tracie will admire this work very much.

Just wondering, what is the acceptable syllable count for a regular Triolet? I would like to try that out as well. Thanks for pointing that out to me...But I do enjoy the modern Triolet they way I wrote that poem. It was fun. Thanks Andrea!

dear andrea, I kept meaning to stop by after reading your message; I'm still around, just not posting at the moment, taking a break from poetry...queen of the sonnets, this is a gorgeous one! I was searching for that cute poem about your sisters but couldn't find it, you're so lucky to have so many sisters, they all sound very different and lovely :-) (you obviously didn't see my comment on john's cyber love poem, it gives the game away hehe)
