A song clip
you're the refrain
my heart pings to
on a slow dance
the steady string
at my kite's end
bidding me - fly!
the woody arms
when eaves are howl-
ing violins-
you're the steady tap-
words beneath words-
pull of spring wind
beneath my steps-
Posted for D'verse Poets Pub - Quadrille - 44 word post with the word SPRING.
Thoughts while watching a lovely couple, our close friends, renew their wedding vows last Saturday (25th anniversary)~ Thanks for the visit ~

Spring's a good time for renewing wedding vows. I liked the idea of being someone's "words beneath words".
ReplyDeleteVery romantic--one of the poetic portals of your nature--not that you cannot summon the vitriol when necessary, or exorcise anger/anguish--but with Spring as Muse, our curmudgeon tendencies ebb.
ReplyDeleteLoving this song clip! You're the steady tap and the spring wind :) Isn't there a song that has the lyrics, "you're the mona lisa"....:)
ReplyDeleteI really love this.. what a great way to describe a lovely coupling falling once again... :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful song clip Grace, I love 'the woody arms
ReplyDeletewhen eaves are howling violins' :o)
Utterly loving and charming. I may have wiped an odd tear or two from the corner of my eye...
ReplyDeleteReally love that "pull of spring wind
ReplyDeletebeneath my steps-" especially.
I hope you shared this with your friends who renewed their vows. It's quite beautiful.
ReplyDelete...wind beneath my steps... like the idea of that!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderfully tender and romantic!❤️
ReplyDeleteOh that's a wonderful little poem Grace. Great line breaks too and love the 'steady strong' image you create.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute to love's vows renewed!
ReplyDeletethis was sweet, renewing vows, still singing the same song but with an even lovelier melody and beat.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful love Quadrille, Grace! I love it, especially the lines:
ReplyDelete'the steady string
at my kite's end
bidding me - fly!'
i love that kite string especially - perfect image
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Grace. I liked the woody arms. Great visuals with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful poem, Grace, and tribute to enduring love.If I had to pick a favorite, I suppose it would be that last stanza, the grand finale. But I can't pick just one.
ReplyDeleteLuv the way that "spring wind" just coursed it way in to the last stanza. Nice!!!
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by to read mine
Much love...
Fly, free spirit. Wonderful tribute to spring,

Tree-mendous visuals and also the short tapping meter of the poem like water drips in Spring rain
ReplyDelete"the woody arms
when eaves are howl-
ing violins-"
Ah! Romantic :)
ReplyDeleteStill going strong and loving in such a way is the way to be indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely tribute. I like how each stanza is unique yet linked to the others by a sense of violins...strings and spring.
ReplyDeleteLoved the rhythm. It felt like the poem was dancing.
ReplyDeleteWell written. Great choice of words.
ReplyDeleteLike a beautiful, gentle dance. :-)
