Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Spring In the Moonlight

I stand in a field filled 
with the many glorious
colors and sweet 
aromatic smells of 
spring when I sit 
in the luscious green 
grasses to gaze up and 
see the brilliant shimmering 
beauty of all the celestial 
bodies i wonder if they too 
could see and smell the 
fresh scents of the 
many hues of spring

Surely they could because 
the moon seemed to 
smile down as his 
luminous beams touch 
all the flowers to 
glisten off the fresh dew 
that sprinkled the 
leaves and petals

Was the moon in awe of 
this glorious beauty as i was 
in them both for nothing 
compared to this
splendiferous spring in 
the moonlight

Andrew Fairchild July 2, 2019 at 5:42 PM I am moved to love the spring, again, by your poem. My wife was often ill in the spring, and I came to dislike that time of year. Now, I find I shall have to go outside and witness the glories that wave in softly lit fields under a summer moon! Thank You for giving Spring back to me!

Mark Peterson June 30, 2019 at 9:38 AM It’s not often that a single poem captures such imagery, vision and sheer emotion and then wraps them into such a singular, coherent piece of work. Somehow, however, you did it, and I’m in awe and admiration at the result. Brenda Chiri June 30, 2019 at 1:40 PM Mark you are far too kind! But your words are so appreciated! Thank you!;)
