The Winter Stalk

A smile cracks my face can you hear the joy? Delight wreathes eyes hidden from your view fullness blossoms because of you. There’s a bounce in my step can you see the joy? Longing be not the villain but the harbinger of delight when unhidden from your sight. Because of you fullness blooms on the winter stalk golden forsythia flowers.

Beautiful, Deborah. Forsythia flowers are such a beautiful winter flower. I like the way you compare your inner (perhaps a secret love...hidden. Am I too romantic?) delight to the yellow spray of the winter blossoming Forsythia. xoxox Dane Ann

There's nothing wrong in longing for spring, Deborah. When I lived in NJ, the forsythia blooms were oh so welcome in early spring. Indeed, the put a "bounce in my step" as I knew pleasant weather was on the way. Very nice poem. Love, carolyn
