Bring In The Spring
Sheer excitement
at awakening of spring
on rosy petals
chorus of peepers at eve
and purple finches at dawn.
Whispers of chill days
Birds burst into morning songs
Gracing new spring days
An equinox passes
First white then golden flowers.
The days grow longer
in the season of rebirth,
younglings come to life
Spreading warmth marks winter's end
as bears rise from their slumber.
I just love spring time
Budding trees sprouting blossoms
Birds squawk atop trees.
The warm breeze flow in my bones
Life and new birth springs to life.
Crunchy slippage
Cracked puddles everywhere
Birds fight in bare trees
Spring creeps in without a care
Flowers bursting everywhere.
Ere spring is sprung
'tis like my body is strung
flowers alone bloom
Where are my darling’s roses
Valentine came bit too soon.
A spring to the steps
making birds glee as they perch
on sunlit tree tops
feeders eagerly welcome
the hungry chirpy creatures.
Winter brought forth sleep
Spring revived brings forth new life
For sleepy poets
The March flowers are budding
Blossom smiling everywhere.
A gypsy spirit
speaking Bohemian language
are the wild daisies
When the season is over
the phase is caged in a vase.
Spring unfolds its mat;
bees and butterflies- invited
to paint with colors;
strokes of red, pink and purple
to embelish the green meadows.
Spring born yesterday
gone its cool grip as days grow
the sun climbs higher
awakened plants prepare blooms
summers lazy ways soon due.

darling roses
voice of a story teller
I followed your every word
here...
pleasant and realistic
no baubles no chrome
invention
but real....
this eve..moon in a clear
sky..the hilltops bathed
in gold from the sunset
high above the shadow
of the city knoll
I walked my dog...
and crossing the busy
highway..noted a rose
bush by the town sign..
three roses left...
beautiful...
I left them
But I wanted them
would have just slipped
the flip knife across
their stems and put
them in my pocket
I adore their fresh
scent..soft and wild!
Thank U!

This is really beautiful
I sense the three roses left but wanted are three women.

yes Barbara
they were all badly maligned
and want comfort
to be loved...cherished...
soothed..flitted about...
who does not...
I worked about for..around
my mother..and her tongue
was like a whip
she was the ice queen
cruella deville..a mad whriling
dervish...but she was fun
humor laden.no one dared
touch us in our village
like a white eagle from above
..
but she was very very very
cruel....word wise..
I Love U..and without a breath
U are the son whom let me
down the most when I am dying...
some scars are too much
but I try too find that appeasement
and I pick my mother over and
over....
its creepy...
its hurtful..
its painful..
and its beautiful
a strange rapture
or search
I will never find what
ever it is I am looking
for...But I see fragments
of a whole..
personas I live in
fading in and out
from being real..
its easy too shift from
one home ...one bed
too the next
...I think the worse
is wanting so bad too
get something
and then finding
no happiness
I think maybe all the
hope of being loved
was shattered
forever removed
But I dont know
when I walk I shall
see my three roses
for me...
alive...
Im everyones Stevie!
and completely bonkers!
thank U!

Great
I think you will like it a lot
The change in poetry writing and its many skills and form is good from time to time.
It keeps us from becoming complacent. It had certainly help me widen out.

you now never visit my page ... so a poem on Three Roses
Three Roses
If there were
only three roses
in your family tree
MOM
SISTER
and
WIFEY
and now you wanted a fourth
a daughter
who would you eliminate first
as only three roses
you can possess
answer my rosy story
many virgins will hear it
but from you not me ..

Autumn
The mighty Oak sleeps
Fruit and leaves scattered abroad
Bared winters garnish
I will hug its stark beauty
Wonder if it dreams as I
