Best Slumbery Poems
Testing The Sun
Its about to happen
You can feel it
There’s a bursting scented vibrancy
Lingering
Happening
Almost
Ready
A slow stretching yawn reverberates
It dissipates and grows
Permeates
Percolates
Rushes outward
But
Waits
Sleepily cracking an eye
It peers around
Secretly shaking off blankets
Dabbles a toe in the air
Testing the sun
If you wait, listen to the stillness
You can hear rising sap
Drawing deep upward to buds
Which seem to scream a new green
And yearn for the moment of leaves
The colours are mixing
Designing chemicals of fluorescence
Predicting their flourishes of blooming petals
Teasing
Niggling
At the edges of their swelling
And somnolent slumbery
Deliberating
On seconds
They
A – C – H – E
In yellow Mimosa puffs
Already they are dreaming
Caught between the spurt of seed
Dreaming of splashes fecundate
And the tiny feet of insects
The great call of their rainbow hues
Is ready to set a fire
In time to stride in their glory
Through to summer
But
Wait
The tiny buds have yet to taste
A drop of rain
And yet to bask for at least a day
In golden heat
Precipitates
Perambulates
Perchance to ponder
Proliferates
Languid time
Wakes
Timeless
Spring
