Showers

April rain free spirited indispensible edges the earth to green its spiritual purpose of growth spring rain gentle thoughtfully falling trekking rivlets like strands of hair ending winter's self containment covering bud blooms pushing tulips, hyacinths to a drooping weight to ease woes rigid like pine cones when spring brims over with endurance when rain lifts as the rapid radiance of sun slips on laurels of promise to fortify us emerging like an armed scent of freedom Composed: March 8, 2022

I tend to struggle writing and sometimes reading free verse but I didn't with this: at all. It flows beautifully. I'm used to very powerful Brian Sambourne poems that tell it how it is. This piece has a more 'softer' feel about it yet it remains just as powerful with its wonderful choice of (very clever) wording that captures the essence of Spring's rain giving it an almost human touch. Excellent! Cheers - Gary

Thank you, Gary. I am locked into the free verse mode. The words + thoughts come so readily - my easy chair as it were. I admire poets such as yourself who skillfully employ rhyme. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful encouragement. Be well. Brian

Thank you Milton. The war in Ukraine was in my thoughts when I re-wrote the final few lines. Best wishes, Brian
