Connie Marcum Wong Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

l

Spring Love 1

Spring Love 

The majesty of pine trees heavy laden with snow 
Sparkle in dawn's dappled light with a glistening glow.
Monumental mountaintops survey valleys down below.
Dwelling in the snow's melt enchanted rippling rivers flow.
Spring's early footsteps lead to where gracious gardens grow.
Soon daffodils and tulips will display a springtime show.

He loved the majesty of pine trees showered in snow.
We watched dawn's dappled light with a glistening glow,
And skied from mountaintop to the valley down below.
We marveled as snow melted into rippling river's flow,
And walked amidst the garden as spring coaxed it to grow.
We married while bright tulips put on a springtime show!

Sam Kauffman February 11, 2022 at 11:27 AM Written from a true gardener's heart with such loving memories Connie. I love the shift in person from the first stanza to the second stanza! This monorhyme truly speaks with a voice of amazement and love. It is truly a beautiful story! Congratulations on your win dear friend! Sending you many blessings of joy and prayers. Connie Marcum Wong February 11, 2022 at 3:22 PM Thank you very much Sam. I couldn’t write for quite a long time but I am feeling better now about the loss of my husband and son. Time helps heal. Blessings xxoo

Paula Goldsmith February 10, 2022 at 11:53 AM Congratulations on your win. A "Beautiful" story/write. Love your line, "Soon daffodils and tulips will display a springtime show." So true and it is coming soon. Can't wait for the show. Have blessed day....................... Connie Marcum Wong February 11, 2022 at 3:28 PM I wish tulips grew here in Hawaii. Those sweet little cut tulips die here quickly even with A/C. They won’t grow in the tropics at all. But I got to visit them in Amsterdam one year and was blown away by their scent and beauty. Enjoy the coming spring. Thank you very much Paula. Blessings xxoo

Kurt Ravidas May 22, 2019 at 4:57 AM Wow, monorhyme is a hellishly hard genre. At least, in Russian. It's definitely a masterpiece of it. Connie Marcum Wong May 22, 2019 at 11:42 AM Thank you very much Kurt. You honor me with this lovely comment. : )

John Fleming January 23, 2018 at 5:22 AM Very cleverly executed and beautifully phrased, Connie. At times, when reading through poems like this, I think I should try and adopt a more rigid writing style; having said that my poems always seem to lead me! My very warmest regards, Connie. :) john
