Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

The Return

Take a long look 
through the looking glass
see how the land 
you have known 
                has changed
Shadows which 
blocked 
the sunlight
are now blown by
      the west wind
warmth 
returns to the land
to the fields, the forests
the towns
yet the bitter winter 
winds
Have left their 
   mark 
On all of us
Can spring 
revive us?
Will the shoots that
rise up through the 
verdant earth 
Renew us?
Creatures of nature 
that we are 
We need to see the 
rebirth of the land
We need to know 
that once again 
beautous flowers - a riot of 
colors 
Will grace out fields, forests and towns
Through even the harshest winter
Spring always returns
  To dance her dance
before our delighted eyes

April 4, 2009 at 10:11 AM The short lines work well in this poem. Nice use of imagery. You may want to change the line "We nee to see the..." to We need to see the. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Keep on writing. Karen
