Welcome to Spring….

Hello Poetry Lovers

Welcome to Spring (I think)! It kind of looks like it’s here – sort of.

To celebrate this elusive season, I have dug out my Spring Triolet, followed by Sharron Green’s stunning piece Out of the Dark. Far more profound and poignant than mine!

But have a read of them both anyway….

Spring Triolet

Birds sing against the weakening dark

And the need for gloves disperse

People are more up for a lark

Birds sing against the weakening dark

But I wouldn’t recommend the local park

Light evenings only make it look worse

Birds sing against the weakening dark

And the need for gloves disperse

Out of the Dark

Out of the dark, the blues of deep winter,

when we feel trapped and moods crash and splinter,

hope forces life to bud at twig’s end,

glimpses of spring flirt just round the bend.
Bright yellow pops from ripe daffodils,

blossom unfurls and joyfully spills.
Out of the dark, we shrug off the night,
freed from within we greet the sunlight.

Wasn’t that a beautiful poem?! Thank you so much, Sharron. Please keep them coming.

Sharron has a new book out Willing Words, which I thoroughly recommend. Go to Sharron’s site at http://www.rhymesnroses.com to treat yourself.

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon….
