poem of the Spring

PACKAGE

A Poem by Marie

 

For the 1st day of Spring...

 

Hint of colour

In the air

Morning glories

Lift their heads

Southern breezes

Whisper low

Urging them

From winter beds.

Now the earth

Is tinged with green

Birds and bees

And butterflies

Open up

The secret box

With its ancient,

New surprise.

Author's Note

I updated my original senryu with a poem about Spring by Marie (R.I.P.) - Thank you to Paul Bell for the suggestion :))

I got here too late to know Marie, but I've seen so many tributes to her, I can tell how beloved she was on this website! This is an awesome spring poem with flowing enjambment & it touches on such a precious aspect of remembering Marie's writing traditions!

[Tony Jordan]

I just know you two would have gotten on like a house on fire BG.
Thank you very much for reading and for your lovely words. Oh and good to see you back !!

I'm honored (((HUGS)))

She was one of our old favorites. We have lost to many, Rain for one and Debby Edwards. To name a few. God bless them. Valentine

[Tony Jordan]

So true.
Thank you Kathie

I felt her tugging my arm when I was looking at the budding flowers - Formidable little woman that she was I think she demanded I write this lol
Thank you John

[Coyote Poetry]

I'm glad you did and you are welcome.

[Ken Simm.]

I had the honour of reviews. And I think you have done her great honour with this well crafted piece.

[Tony Jordan]

She was a honorary Celt Ken - small in stature but huge in heart and integrity .
Thank my my Celtic bro.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I knew of her, but I didn't know her personally. How wonderful of you, to honor her in such a way!

[Tony Jordan]

I felt her in the early shoots of Spring Kelly - she loved all the seasons. Thank you very much for reviewing this tribute to a WC stalwart.

[mercy party]

you always write so true and bright. I did not have the privilege of knowing her, but you somehow quickly gave us all a nice glimpse. You are a classy individual!

[Tony Jordan]

I'm an overwhelmed individual now M.P.
Thank you my friend.
:)

[Paul Bell]

It's always nice when a writer touches you.
Lovely tribute.

[Tony Jordan]

Thank you Paul. You'd have liked her I feel.

[Paul Bell]

I couldn't get the link to the account.
Maybe if you're are allowed, you could put something of Marie up.

[Tony Jordan]

I think I'd have to ask her daughter about that Paul.
Let me get back to you - smashing idea by the way.
I appreciate your visit mate. :))

[Samuel Dickens]

Thank you for this very sweet remembering of her. She read nearly everything I wrote, and I reciprocated. A lot of us truly miss her.

[Tony Jordan]

She was a one-off Samuel. If she liked your writing she let you know and ditto if she didn't.
I bet she's loving seeing those crocuses blooming now.
Thanks for adding your thoughts here.
