An Ode to Keats

...a birthday tribute

An Ode to Keats

 

 

My heart in heavy solitude

 longs for another spring,

like the outstretched wings of a sparrow…

like the dying breath of Keats.

 

 

 

Author's Note

[Kelly Scheppers]

I don't like to rush winter, for I love the colder weather. I can pretty much find solace and beauty in all four seasons, and like chocolate, it is quite hard for me to choose a favorite! Thank you so much, Rudi!

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

That's true, Kelly, but above all chocolate and Belgian chocolate in particular is good for all the seasons. :) Rudi

In your lines is woven such an elegance and sweet splendor that elevates the very soul, just as Keats still does, now living on through your dedication. Keep breathing out beauty. xo
