The Promise of Summer

Winter's tendrils,
are now
the jewels of Spring.
As Summer smiles
so coolly.

I like the impact of a shorter poem. :) as ever thank you.

[Coyote Poetry]

You did well dear Cherrie and you are welcome.

Perfect brevity. Your words make me think of the brushwood tresses on our silver birch. A few weeks ago, covered in droplets of rain and now sprouting green leaves. Lovely work Cherrie.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Kerra, I write about many topics but nature is one of my favorites.

And not before time either! Greetings from a dazzlingly sunny Scotland (yes, its not a typo) although we are sticking rigorously with the Mercury forgetting where North is.
Looking forward to those few cherished days of living dangerous and going out with only one coat on 😊
Well, we can dream 😊

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, live on the wild-side, one coat it is. Plus galoshes, an overcoat and don't forget your mask.

I’m always joyful when winter releases it’s hold and the warmer weather of spring settles in

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, me too. :)

[Relic]

Like life, even nature must experience its cold seasons. But the reward of summer soon comes along with those jewels.

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) Yes, I'm ready to hit the water and maybe a good picnic.

[John the Baptist]

May be that way now, but I fear that smile won't be so cool come August.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes August always finds her in her 3 digit fullness.

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) thank you, I have been enjoying Spring this year alittle more than usual.

love her from afar. but she is cool towards me...so I keep my season of distance.

God, I love this poem...so damn expressive, Cherrie...
nice mix of the seasons...with metaphorical echoes.

:) thank you, it just kinda popped in my head on the way to work after I read Emma's poem 'happens:'
It's funny how reading others work kick starts the old mind.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is why I love reading others' poems here...
so much inspiration!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherrie... the blooms of Spring have brought hope
and emotional healing. The Birds still
fly around and sing their tunes... of Clair De Lune,
especially during the night in the Moonlight. gently, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

really this poem is Emma's fault. It just popped in my head after reading 'happens: a smile springs'.
