Spring Rhapsody

SPRING RHAPSODY Spring like a harp glissando infecting the air showering light-dust bathes the soul This sudden hurrying sung by the breeze the lyrics moist and determined Out the door! with rakes hoes gloves light-jacketed will Drops Mother-kissed ping! sting! Shout! the newborn cry Pat a fat pink-bottomed cloud

Hmmm...this is followed by "Endless Winter", Davr. Today I'll keep to this one, it feels more hopeful.:) You've created a buzz of activity. Love the last verse! Best to you..Mikki

You are right about the hearts and initials growing larger as the tree grows, Daver. I went back years later and that's just what had happened. Love, Carolyn

Awesome images and quite a great rhythm to this creative free verse, Daver. Nice use of spacing with the wording. You are developing quite a unique style and I think others here are trying to emulate it, but there's nothing like the original. Love you, Carolyn

Amazing piece. The personification is very powerful, the onomatopoeia makes it fun, and the images add even more beauty to it. Always, Farah
