Spring Sonata

Tiger lillies trill
Notes pervade overcast skies
Roaring with color

congratulations Sir John on your win on Mister Strand's contest. Very well deserved ( do i need to spew that? ). My worries on my submission of poems if they have reached you. I'm still waiting for your reply. much respect and adoration, GiNO P.S my prayers on your books. I'm pretty sure that it'll be a shoo-in! wink! (pardon my last comment. Did not proofread. Feel free to erase it.)

I enjoyed this. I like line 3; it reminds me of the Haiku of Richard Wright.
