John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

So Gentle Is the Morn

So gentle is the morn in spring
   as tender as the rose
whose dewdrop petals long to bring
   their beauty to expose.
The warm sunlight and fresh spring air,
the breeze is blowing in our hair.
      The warm sunlight…
         the warm sunlight 
   invigorates a day so fair.

So gentle is the morn in spring 
   in nature’s outdoor room;
the butterflies are fluttering 
   from bloom to lovely bloom 
to pollinate the flowers need
and spread their beauty with it’s seed.
      To pollinate… 
         to pollinate 
   the budding love that will proceed.

So gentle is the morn in spring
   like coos of mourning dove
while calling for his mate to bring 
   exciting lilts of love.
I long to feel so young again
while strolling in the April rain; 
      I long to feel… 
         I long to feel 
   the tender notes of love’s refrain.

Sam Kauffman April 9, 2020 at 3:51 PM This poem is as lovely as a spring morning. I never thought about a spring morning coming with a gentle touch, not like a fierce appearance in winter, but with soft persistence bringing us out of our sleep. I really like the repeating lines at the end of each stanza. Nice touch. John Gondolf April 9, 2020 at 9:42 PM Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and comments, Sam, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
