spring fever

tides roar
chests charging skyward-  
spring fever is on


finger buds rising
greening fields-
wild flowers frolicking by feet
of trees-
raindrops scenting faces  
of tulips- 
birdsongs everywhere-


tiny cherry blooms unveiling
delicate parasols, pink eyelets


I am stilled
in the arms of beauty

    Very nice, Grace. Again you score high with your 44 You have written more Spring poetry than most of us--a volume/chapbook of it. I like your line /raindrops scenting faces of tulips/.

    I love the description of the cherry blossoms "delicate parasols, pink eyelets". Lovely glimpse of spring. We are past all the blooms now except for the azaleas and lilacs. the roses are even coming out!

    It is impossible not to be stilled in the arms of beauty when the world is greening and everything seems to be in bloom. Beautiful poem!

    A few weeks ago it looked like Spring would not arrive this year. Now it feels like it has always been here.

    I love the contrast between the busy atmosphere of the main body of the poem and the stillness of the final lines, Grace, especially:
    'raindrops scenting faces
    of tulips'
    and
    'tiny cherry blooms unveiling
    delicate parasols...'

    of trees"

    Sigh, how lovely. I look forward to an experience such as this when we migrate back north. It will be touch and go as we are expecting floods when the snow melts in the Sierra. Your poem is so "stilling."

    Spring must be a great time of rejoicing in Canada. It is here in South Texas as well, but quickly turns to summer. I can almost see the trees blossoming and the snows melting again, the sun warming up everyone's mood

    I can smell the blossoms here. This is an apt reminder that we should all stop to smell them from time to time.
