Best Primavera Poems

On this day, the light declares victory
The Sun’s unrelenting march
From its Stygian, icy fortress
Has at last dethroned the indolent dark

The pendulum swings into the black
The metronome ticks maddeningly faster
Life, the sleep sand wiped out of its eyes,
In love again in its giddy mania

Emerald mother unfurls...

Flüstern von den Bergen
Früher Frühling verzaubert das Tal
Eine blühende Serenade

Whisper from the mountains
Early spring enchanting the valley
A floral serenade

-----------------------------------------


Cuchicheo de las montañas
Temprano primavera hechiza el valle
Una floreciente serenata...

Footles, as one, regarding Spring by Sandro Botticelli



Sandro
Does Know:

Venus-
Genus

Darkened,
Starkened

West wind
Chlore sinned;

Shrewd glance,
Now dance

Bough, her
Flower;

Three Grace
At base

Bypass
Time sass,

Laurels
Morals

Orange grove,
Bee soave;

Broody-
Nudie

Looks left,
Bereft,

Cupid,
Stupid

As love
Above

High arts,
Babe farts

Passion's
Rations.

De las auroras se integra la flor;
Semblantes pretextos clarecen,
Gradaciones progresivas acontecen;
Aparece la luminosa flor...

Esplendor ilustra tal flor;
Miasmas cultivados,
Perfumes emanados,
Colores enmarcados;
Brisas acarician su fulgor...

Del destello salió la flor;
Alimentada a gotas,
Prospera su polen fertilizado,
El viento pronuncia su olor...

La luz ilumina sus encantos,
Estrellas celestes y serenas en entornos
De...

Primavera  Comes

Lightly she descends--
 her feet move toward us,
over the crest of the Vermont hills.

In her footsteps  
spring vernal pools;
in her hair are golden 
willow twigs,
tangled goldfinches
with black-barred wings 
fluttering.

As she passes,
her breath breathes early violets 
and crushed grass, mixed
with notes of woodsmoke...

Fowls in the treetops singsonging their lines
Lively squirrels climbing and racing 'cross vines
Where the rainy days and sunny days seem to align
In the moments where winter no longer confines.
Ah, yes, February's bleakness begins to decline
We stroll in the warm air, and can't quite define
The peace,...

Sandro Botticelli's
     masterpiece
Primarvera
        painted in 1478
     with no clear explanation for 
the combination of characters
        it is to be viewed left to right

Botticelli and his Primavera-
 
                    a painting
    visually lyrical
          the subjects appear
  sculpted

............. for Kate


Somehow it seems colder
roll on summer seems to have missed its mark
and even as clearest blue the sky is cosseting a chill
and so the temperature set itself against my will

How does the sun dim and falter
although still as bright
its warmth in the colours...

Privavera outono 
ou outra
Estação de
todos os anos

Desde agora
Nesta estação de 2017
E por todo e sempre
Fica permitido que o pão de cada dia 
tenha no ser humano o sinal de seu suor. 
acima de tudo o quente sabor da ternura
Da autenticidade e da sinceridade. 

A partir...

Es una otra primavera
Es una nueva temporada
Un otro día de lluvia ligera cayendo
Un otro día medio soleado otra vez
Y una otra ocasión de presenciar
Y de disfrutar de los bulbos que florecen
Donde muchos pollitos azules están tarareando
Imitando multitud de coloridos gorriones
Que están cantando alegremente
En el cielo,...
