ninety six degrees in the shade
leaves dance lithely in the tropic  breeze
 butterflies frolic amid exotic verdure...

The light of the Sun
nuzzles the verdure of Earth
with gold fingertips
of chlorophyll-induced warmth 
like a babe in swaddling cloth....

The hurting verdure 
Has swamped my mind completely 
With lingering past 
Do not know how to endure 
Haunting union in meadows.......

Show I not scrapers of skies, but majestic
Snow-capped mountains in alpine glow.
Show I not individuals of plastic;
But verdure and sylvan where songbirds show....

GRINS AND BUBBLES

blooms in the verdure 
flash golden smiles heavenward
the soap bubbles dance

Buds bloom from the ground, 
Fresh flow'rs come to life, 
Greenery spreads slow,
Daisies and roses,
Zing of young blossoms, 

Carnations peek,
Asters flourish, 
Busy florists 
Are on their toes,

Jade verdure 
Grabs the eye,
Fascinates,

Spring's here,
Makes me 

Leap.

Endings starting
Leaves are turning
Grass starts browning with
Furnaces burning.
Colder weather
As to focus,
Deeper feelings in
Shallow harvest.
Briskly, daunting
Haunting Spirits
Barren-halled reckonings as
Frost encroaches.
Verdure withered but
Perhaps a good Word;
forgotten pasts buried
In the stillness of the earth....

I have hope now,
Hope in the eyes of an angel
Heaven sent, eyes shining forth light
Illuminating my darkened crevices
Shining amongst the ruins,
And in that light, I can now see
Verdure once dead, 
Begin to take on new life
Like a long awaited spring,
Home now, smiling with its arrival,
Gently ebbing away the bitter
winter,
Of the season past...

Come, come one come all! For there awaits a
lush garden rife of color and verdure;
Which's tended to by the imaginations,
the imaginations of writers.
Come, come and join our ranks as an equal.
Where not an once of bashing may be found.
We hope you'll join us for a bowl of soup.
With no further ado, we welcome one
and all hereto "The Soup", poetrysoup.com....

How lovely is when
early spring turns land
crops with youth verdure
for honor and love
hidden and broken.

Nature whispers 
emerging from
winter wholly
hibernation.

A hurried
sun glances
dressing fields.

In rich
blossoms-

Spring

 Black bears  emerge from their dens to refuel on spring greens
          and the remnants of last autumn's berries.

Birds are happy pleased I swear
They are satisfied 
Homes in the trees
Early in the morn, hungry they go
At sunset, full they come
Every day is a festival
They talk birdsong
Daytime among verdure and flowers
Raindrops their showers
Sleeping on time
Healthy they are
No impression nor vigil
Marriage in a minute
No money
No mine nor yours
Just fly to get things
All things are free
The land is wide
The sky is wider
Wake up and fly!...

rain showers the land
displays knolls of green grasses
tarsiers free park play

sun shimmers brilliance
upon brown mounds verdure lair

Newly cut grass, glistening with dew
Lawnmower a-purring, blades a whirring
Of an early Spring morning, fond memories of you ...
Slicing through tufts of verdure, my senses a-stirring
  ~ Green piles, scented hills: fresh, alluring

Breathe in the air deeply, hold it a spell
Spring's mint fragrance, a billowing sail
Ahhhh! that invigorating fresh-cut grass smell … 
Stretch your arms outward, upward, your held breath exhale
  ~ Sing to the world-- redolent, your tale...
