rush of sunshine

 

when midnight strikes, i'm a thief

swallowing pale moon

penning words, as wintered trees

reveal bones - hush - soon.

sunshine lingers, love

etches a spell, rush of gold

i await - spring's dove

  1. I think we are soon there, from the bones and pale moon to the wonder of spring.

  2. I love your little ‘rush of sunshine’ sequidilla, Grace, especially the image of a midnight thief swallowing the moon! It’s a relief to know that sunshine is lingering. We had a very brief glimpse of it today.

  3. This is exquisitely drawn, Grace!💝 I so adore the image of "rush of gold," when the sun comes out it does feel like that.

  4. A poem of spring anticipation - 'rush of gold' is perfect as it feels like it has been cold for far too long. Thank you for introducing me to a new form!

  5. Beautiful! Swallowing the moon like a pill and writing in the company of skeletal trees, then the hint of the volta to come.

  9. Grace,

    The way you wrote "hush - soon" really thrilled me. I imagined a mother soothing her child, except the reference to bones made it eerie. This was delightful.

    Yours,
    David

  15. Lovely Grace and with that bounce of Spring and the theif of the pale moon penning words. Lets hope we will all get that uplift soon. A bit grey here still in the UK.
