Image result for Pictures of early springImage result for Pictures of early spring

Roosters crow at the break of day
Inviting the sun to come up
And reveal a partly cloudy sky
While the poet shivers as she stays
Out on the porch to view up high
The odd slow movement of clouds cupped
Like a clam shell's ridges flay

White crackled cold dew coats summer grass
Pines softly sigh their winter song
Amidst bamboo wind chime's mellow tunes
Winter's bite removes desire to surpass  
Time out on the porch with nature commune 
Birdsong symphony; poet belongs
Not viewing nature through the glass

The Star Magnolia now blossoms white stars
Daffodils delicate leaves show
Forcefully pushed through frozen clay
Encouraged by the signs of spring's stars
The poet's winter blues allay
As warm sun shines returns aglow
Luscious plants become new avatars

Soon the red earth will warm again
Remove the damp damaging frost
Bare limbs whipped by winter winds
Will invite to come unconstrained
Now the northwesterly breeze blinds
The pines sigh from the cold winds tossed
A poet languishes behind glass constrained

very pretty Sara. Thank you for my high rating for "The One Who Survives. There were seven of us. I had 5 brothers and a sister. I was a middle child. I have no one now who shares he memories of those early years. Thank God I have my daughters and grandchildren, having lost my son and two husbands. I truly am a survivor. That is what happens. You face much the same. Love, Joyce
