Senses of Spring

Cinquain

Spring tastes

like dawn's dewdrops

chilled by nighttime musings

warming with the sun's rising shine

rebirth

 

 

 

Spring smells

like clean linens

fluttering in the breeze

softening every time it rains

after

 

 

 

Spring feels

like a shy blush

kissing away winter's

cold, replacing it with promise

velvet

 

 

 

Spring sounds

like a sweet song

that sings of tomorrow

as the music of today soothes

chirp, chirp

 

 

 

Spring looks

like lime green love

a sky that is sharp blue

and the clouds are a ragged white

thank you!

Sort of concrete poetry here, Tammy...I like the way the stanzas are shaped like squat trees, the last line being the trunk, and how you chose (a leafy) green for the letters...but the content is what shines, it conveys spring, through the windows of my eyes.

So sensory in it's wording. Loved it. Can feel and smell it all.

What a sensory delight spring is! With all the snow we've been getting this week, your poem was a perfect spirit lifter. Nice job, Tammy. Sharon

Lovely use of sensory description-- it's great when a writer engages all the reader's senses, not just sight and hearing. Your metaphors are original, yet feel true.
