Ghairo Daniels Poet Verse

spring pregnant lake

daisy pollen in nostrils
   tongue moves from blue frost 
where it slumbered winterish  
sunrise cracks pregnant lake
   trout jumping in surprise 
I finger spring fish 
                          warm flesh melts lips 

inner cheeks bleat rosy 
    packing  away mittens 
ladybug lands
             tickling toes  —

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 30, 2026 at 9:39 AM Dear Ghairo, Oh your words burst open like the season itself, pollen, frost, trout, lips, all colliding in that delicious, slightly feral way spring has of waking every sense at once. It’s spring as appetite, spring as touch, spring as a mouth absorbing its colors again. Beautiful, Blessings, Daniel
