The birth of spring
a renaissance of new life
patterns beginning again
as intoxicating scents
of blossoms and greenery or
a soft tear of a raindrop on a petal

We slow down and let our relaxation
spin us around a little
carefree and innocent
childlike - we discover anew
the water adrift - our bodies serene
We are full of creativity
and dream of romance

Songs of the breeze
a white cottage where
our spirits reside
We relive this vibration
year after year
each time a fresh new outlook
where dew leaves its impression
on our minds
- a new start -
the beginning of a new adventure

Beautiful poem, Jeanne. Spring has been written about for eons, but your poem feels fresh and new.

Hi Jeanne, I love seasonal poems and as it is spring here in UK this one made me smile.

I feel you have a few too many 'the's' especially starting lines - especially in the first stanza. I have offered one alternative.

I also feel your poem could be divided quite nicely into a few shorter stanzas rather than one long one.


The birth of spring -
[the] a rennaisance of new life
[the pattern beginning] begins the pattern again
The intoxicating scent
of blossoms and greenery
the soft tear of a raindrop on a petal
Sp rennaissance

We slow down and let [our] relaxation
spin us aroun[g]d a little
carefree and innocent
childlike - we discover anew
the water adrift - our bodies serene
L1 perhaps delete 'our' - sp.. in L2

We are full of creativity
and dream of romance
the song of the breeze
the white cottage where
our spirits reside

We relive this vibration
year after year
each time a fresh new outlook
the dew leaves its impression
on our minds
- a new start -
the beginning of a new adventure

I think the last stanza is my favourite.

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!

I do not know what the fuss is about.

Spring has arrived.

And well identified.

I can only find praise for a well written, easy to read piece of poetry.

Regards,

John

Hi Jeanne, JackBox.gif

This is a lovely, radiant poem about the coming of Spring.

We all seem to be in different latitudes. I'm in the middle of winter, though not a particularly snowy one. I loved the snow when it did fall! Hoping for some more, as it's far too mild now. Snowflake.gif

I think you've revised your poem very well. Eisa always gives good advice, I'm so glad she's dropped in again! butterfly.gif

Congrats, Jeanne, bring on some more! cheer.gif

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
