April Showers (Anacreontic Verse)

Putting the blame
on global warming
winter felt the pinch
rain was scarce
and spring arrived
lamenting its luck
unable to twirl
in habitual gown
of green satin
shyly tiptoeing
keeping a low
profile, feeling blue;
the wind intervened
encouraged her
with soothing words 
to wait patiently;
providentially
dark clouds came
unexpectedly
and April showers 
quenched thirsting soil;
spring breathed 
in...

Anacreontic Verse

Winter has now passed,
tears drip from the sky
grey clouds hide the blue
it’s raining! I cry.
April showers
bring us welcomed rain,
our garden’s thirst
is quenched again.
Vibrant crocuses
of yellow and blue
peer through the soil.
Daffodils dance
in the warm spring breeze,
their golden pollen
may make you sneeze!
Terrific tulips
delight us
bursting with
jewelled colours...

Of first embrace and broken glass
I cherish that first spark
New light upon our forest' dark.

Do you recall that northern wind? 
It came at first so swift
Perhaps our growing light enraged
Poor Hopelessness', her whims denied
Inspired shadows from retreat
Those having once left us in our light.

"There's hope...

April showers… 
so welcomed
when our winter's 
gone and done.
Snow dissolved 
into the ground
to now await 
the springtime sun.
Trees lift up 
dry resting limbs,
wait for water 
to awake
their dormant 
curled up buds...
thirst-quenching 
gift they take.
April showers
bring new flowers
sustenance
to help them grow;
hydrated soil,
nutrients
seep into
their new life flow.
Before...

Anacreontic Verse 3 Contest
Sponsor:  Edward Ebbs

Tender sprinkles
drizzles of vigor
April grants
roots of life
entwined seedlings
buds a bloomin'
Spring flourishes
slivers of sun 
pansies sprout
splendid day lilies 
peak with desire
unknown beauty
lying beneath
earth's tilted axis
eager to blend
May penetrates
mother nature
with her seasons
new life awoken
merging blossoms
pink lilies adored
daisies of yellow
florets embraced
alluring scents
stunning...

Anacreontic verse

These April showers
will drown the flowers
and drive the tourists 
all away.
The rainclouds hover.
They run for cover
and wish they'd waited
for a day.
But if thy stay for
only an hour,
they'll find that this
was just a shower.
It is for certain
we'll raise the curtain,
on fields of tulips
in bright array.
But...

Slant light lances
     stabbed through clouds
         of thick grey,
Wetness fills the sky
And falls on all....

~April Showers~ 
( Pensee  Triple ) 


During 
April showers fall 
Flowers smile happy and bright 
Roses and tulips bloom around 
There is nothing like spring 

Spring smiles 
She gifts beauty 
Brings with her renewal and hopes 
Her beauty is very serene 
Soft like butterfly's...

Anacreontic Verse

I sit silent
within this moment
Not knowing
If you are willing
To touch me
in a way
that truly matters
For I need you
To caress my skin
For it has been
a long winter
of wanting
My skin glistens
April fresh
showered clean
for this reunion
Within my longing
My spirit knows
You don't sense my need
Although you feel close
There...

Flowers smile happy and bright
Roses and tulips bloom around

Brings with her renewal and hopes
Her beauty is very serene
Soft like butterfly's wings.

All thru springtime

Today I was walking barefooted, 
After a heavy thunderstorm had passed thru,
I was wearing a beautiful white cotton dress. 

I suddenly stumbled upon a puddle,
A beautiful muddy puddle, I was instantly
drawn to its diameter and mysterious depths.

The top of the puddle was lying still, 
ever...
