Just east of here, in shallow prairie pools
In secret, lives a fleeting little world
Late rains caught in impenetrable clay
Host  a brilliant and vanishing bloom

Tiny flowers erupt, golden bursts of color
Fairy shrimp spring from dormant cells
Ephemeral life short lived but vibrant
For those that seek, a...

a black-eyed sea
……a wave of ice
a knotted mouth
……a killer’s vice
a candle’s blood
……a blind man’s palm
a twist of fate
……a beggar’s plate
a midnight sky
……an amber eye
a thunder’s fist
……a sleepy mist
~ a lover bent
……a narrow gate,
a body bound
……annihilate    

a twist of blue
……a fleck of night

Asterisms flicker
one sleek obsidian night;
solstice slips away

Snowdrop shoots nosing
petals into bitter winds;
first whispers of spring

Sparkling laughter runs
among the pebbles and reeds;
melt-water music

Bright blue, wet green days
wash away winters lather;
vernal equinox....

Spring begins as a spring, the roads shining wet, the earth desultory floats the water as 

the lawns are pricking green welcoming the Spring. At dawn the birds chatter with delight 

at the worms' awful plight while commuters mutter imprecations to one and all as...

The Vernal Equinox

Welcome to the vernal equinox,
a time to move hour forward all our clocks.

Regrowth, rejuvenation and rebirth,
A zest for life and lust for all its worth.

As warm winds kiss away the cold and freeze,
the sap is rising in the Maple trees.

A lover pulls you...

The vernal showers- so sublime, divine, 
Pattering on enticing eglantine,
Resounding refrain, the thunders sing,
The spectral arcs smearing spirit of spring,
Drenched in that shower from welkin’s soul, 
Marigolds and tulips dance enthralled.
I hear them drizzle on the grassy green,
Their song like a lullaby my senses reign,
My...

I fell in love among the daffodils,
Those golden maids who dance in early spring,
My heart bid farewell to its winter chill,
As I saw beauty in everything,
The morning sun reflects upon my quill,
Release the words my heart now longs to sing,
Among the daffodils comes something new
And...

The Vernal Equinox
By Franklin Price

The Vernal Equinox has passed
Went by four days ago
The sun has traveled halfway south
Towards Summer don't you know

The temperature is climbing
The flowers are in bloom
The leaves returning to the trees
To give the shade more room

Pink, red and white the leaves of...

Vernal breeze
			by Elaine Roy

May my heart be the vernal breeze that passes over your heart, to fill you with my love.
It's in the vernal breeze, were nothing  can be seen but everything is felt with in our hearts.
Shall we place our feelings on the...

you can sense it
smell it, see it
clear, clean, cloudless days
earth's quickening
the energy, bursting energy
in pale shades
soft new shades
emerge from the ground
with boundless conviction
spring whispers to them
run, run to the sun
end winter's rule
tender tendrils grow
holding hands, dancing
in the woodlands
marsh and thicket...
