Spring To Yuletide

Circumstance encompassing around and flowing as the mill race in turbulent rolling curls, Surges.' Forth to flow; and fall, visions issue with or without portent, to my observation and my limited discernment. Also fate makes it s call and then falls a power, as do the oceans rearing ramparts downwards smash On sand or shingle strands by night, by day, and twilight hours, whilst magma as incandescent fire spouts and high hurled, red In-veined opals show a pastel field green & blue glistening inside more verdant hues, liquid colours flow as golden day Ignites and shines, faint breaths of spring essay its designs then retreat as the atmosphere chills, to threats of snow and sundry ills. ©Joe Maverick 18-2-2011

nice use of alliteration throughout. I am a big fan of that form so any poem that features it is automatically going to be one I like. it is visually stunning without being cluttered. very impressive write.

In-veined opals show a pastel field green & blue glistening inside more verdant hues, liquid colours flow as golden day Ignites and shines, faint breaths of spring essay its designs I especially liked these lines..Spring is what we are looking forward to in the depths of winter..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
