Spring Sonata

A melodious symphonic journey by the rose-bush….
No more waiting…air is crisp and delightful again,
Mystical breeze waltzing, whistling romantic stories,
Pristine clouds floating like sailboats in the ocean,
Grasses gleefully swaying showcasing their exuberant colours,
            Velvety and silky to tread on,
Evergreens feel despondent and lonely no more,
                 Spring is at the door!

Aquamarine horizon with crimson hue,
Drowns my senses in lilac reverie,
Koels and Bulbuls unhesitatingly tweet songs!
Swirling vibrant colours of rainbow in palette...
Fragrant graceful flowers waking up from slumber,
Sky is singing an ebullient tale, and...

Faraway sonata of a season whispers
Dreams soothing and gentle on my eyes!
Spring birds cooing a celestial melody of sitar,
Strings plucked gently with fingers fine,
Floating clouds play violin with their gliding movements,
Breeze paints a picture of grace and harmony of Cello,
Leaves murmur an ensemble of a deeply expressive flute,  
    A memorable sonata is created divine!

What a beautiful, stunning poem as one of your first posts of the year. There is so much that has enraptured me that I hardly know where to start. Gorgeous imagery, ‘ like sailboats in the ocean’ ‘ aquamarine horizon ‘ ‘ floating clouds play violin’ . The sights and sounds are truly breathtaking. A gentle melodic orchestra to herald spring. I loved it! Thank you for sharing your immense talent.

I was travelling for two months in Winter, and probably that’s going to be my routine from now on, if my health permits. I did a presentation on poetry and my two published books, in the city of my birth. That was an awesome experience! I definitely missed my poet-friends - and now I am back. Posted a blog on Indian cooking, and hoping to share traditional recipes and Indo-Canadian fusion experiments. Looking forward to reading your captivating poems, Dearest Poetess! Love and Hugs~ Christina Bowring Date: 3/22/2024 10:09:00 AM Good luck in the contest. Hugs and smiles to you xx :):)
