Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

Spring's Tease

There's a smile tethered to each scented breeze
and a warm caress in the Sun's embrace,
revealing the telltale signs of Spring's tease.

Ice melts in rivers that no longer freeze
and dandelions show their yellow face;
there's a smile tethered to each scented breeze.

Affirming the weatherman's expertise,
a seasonal transition's taking place;
revealing the telltale signs of Spring's tease.

While warm Chinooks bring Winter to its knees
weaving snowflakes into patches of lace,
there's a smile tethered to each scented breeze.

Butterflies cavort with the honeybees
while April showers give Winter winds chase,
revealing the telltale signs of Spring's tease.

Anxieties swiftly begin to ease
as Winter slips away without a trace.
Revealing the telltale signs of Spring's tease,
there's a smile tethered to each scented breeze.

Jeanette Swan April 1, 2024 at 9:43 PM Love the line, 'There's an earthiness to each scented breeze'. Wet soil after rain...and early flowers...the tease that it might get warmer soon (yet sometimes Spring has more snow than winter - at least in Hobart when I lived there, with snow on the wattle). Lots of beauty here. Emile Pinet April 2, 2024 at 7:05 AM Thanks, Jeanette; I appreciate your comments, my friend, Emile.

Ink Empress March 15, 2024 at 1:20 AM How beautiful is this dear emile, that picture youv used for the poem too is breathtaking: and I absolutely love the flow and depth of what youv conveyed here. So descriptively captivating and soulfully divine. “The ice melts as rivers slowly unfreeze, and where daffodils dare to show their face; there's an earthiness to each scented breeze.” These line left me truly in awe. You did your villanelle so well. Your refrains blend in too so well, just flawless. A fave this is for me Emile Pinet March 15, 2024 at 7:01 AM Thanks, Ink Empress, I am touched by your words and humbled by your praise my friend, Emile.
