Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

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

Gary Radice March 13, 2022 at 1:21 AM 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 Brian Sambourne March 13, 2022 at 7:02 AM 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
