Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Spring Sun

First rays of spring sun 
Expose dark hidden corners
Their unwanted dusty cobwebs 

Opening wide the windows 
Their curtains billow and dance

It’s a time for awakenings and stirrings
Of the internal genre
Inspiring spring cleaning
Of a spiritual nature

Remembering laughter of children
As they chase butterflies
Remembering the meaning of the word play
As stress gives way to smiles
Remembering why life is worth living

O how spring air does detonate rejuvenation

James Inman April 29, 2018 at 4:35 PM Line, your lines bring back youthful memories of innocence. It is sad that they can never be experienced in the same naive way again.

Caren Krutsinger April 24, 2018 at 8:45 PM laughter of children chasing butterflies. Boy that brought back memories, and chasing fire flies and grasshoppers and everything else. Good luck in the contest, Line. Line Gauthier April 29, 2018 at 10:03 PM Thanks for your lovely visit, Caren. Sounds like you've done your share of chasing in your youth.
