Spring in the Valley

Spring in the Valley

Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
Lavender wisteria spills 
Over a mossy granite stone. 
Air thick with heavy lilac fills, 
Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
hanging on quiet valley stills, 
Where lazy shadows creep alone. 
Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
Lavender wisteria spills.

Sam Kauffman July 10, 2026 at 12:27 PM Ken, congratulations on your winning placement. There is such a sense of quietness in your images - a peaceful twilight or serene dawn. I love "lazy shadows creep alone." This line, for me, doesn't picture loneliness but a sense of peace. Hope all is well. Sending you blessings of peace. Ken Allan Dronsfield July 10, 2026 at 6:50 PM My deep thanks Sam. I appreciate you reading the piece. blessings to you and yours!

Andrea Dietrich July 2, 2026 at 1:18 AM You know what? If you had put line 1'as your line 4 and then replaced line 6 with the lilac line, this would have been a first place winner Ken Allan Dronsfield July 2, 2026 at 7:59 AM Yes, it would've changed the 'essence' of the poem. Thank you!

Andrea Dietrich July 2, 2026 at 1:15 AM I loved almost every line of this one, Ken. I actually just noticed you had put an extra line. I had not even caught that until now but the whole thing sure is pretty. Congrats in my contest. Ken Allan Dronsfield July 2, 2026 at 8:14 AM Thank you very much my friend. Whoopsy on the extra line. Spending too much time with the 'checkers', have a great day!
