Spring

We dream of fearless landscapes,

of tall prairie grass and guitar acoustics,

washing down the heat,

and the loss we feel.

                In a single gulp, we swallow

                this melancholy laden air...

Spring is here.

Its venomous empty promises

on the winds, I hear...

I suppose its something inside us that holds no promise for change or improvement even though spring is a symbol of renewal over the blues of winter. Sometime the blues stays longer than expected, becoming an all-too-familiar pattern.

Love your poetry.

Welcome friend :)

whoa - I was floating on gossamer here then you whipped the magic blankie away and I came a-crashing to the ground with a thump! Two sides to every season - I think we sometimes forget that in the clamour to welcome some colour into our erstwhile blanc world.
The eloquence here is unmistakably moon-like Naomi.
"fearless landscapes..." - wow! I wish I'd written that.

[Moonie]

Lol @ magic blankie.. I could soooo see you floating on the magic carpet with the gilded lamp in hand, wrapped in a blankie for comfort.....you make me feel like the grinch for taking it away... ;))
Thank you for the lovely review, Anto!! :))

[ANTO]

I happen to love the grinch ...lol
you're welcome Naomi :)

I can feel the emotion in your words...the longing..the frustration "venomous empty promises on the winds" - a brilliant line. I enjoyed this darker look at spring.

The only problem with this wonderful poem it ended to soon and somewhat abruptly. I had to read it several times only to enjoy it more and more. Off we go into my library! Bravo Moon's fairest daughter!

Such powerful longing and thrilling sensations of want and not able to be together. You are showing your dark side of the moon in this one my fair daughter and it is beautiful!
Cursed spring and the promises of love whispering them out loud..
awesome work lovely!! :D

Ouch! A broken heart, perhaps? "Venomous empty promises on the winds, I hear..." is powerful! Very compelling writing, my friend. I love the way you weave your tapestry of words to create such a vivid image. I could sit and read your poems all day! :) Thank you for sharing this one..:)

[Moonie]

My dear, where have you been... I hope to see you back soon...I cannot thank you enough for staying with me for so long, reading and reviewing my poems...thank you, thank you, thank you, my lovely ocean star!!!! :))

[Bright Ocean Star]

I'm so sorry, fairest moon daughter. I've got to get ready to teach several months of a crazy class schedule, and I've been procrastinating too long. I won't be on much for the next few months. While I'm away, please don't stop writing. I can't wait for the pile of your beautiful writing I will have to go through when I have more time. Take care and happy writing...:)
