A Spring Ode of Hope

Inner realization and joy knowing the winter cold is ebbing away and Spring is coming to stay.r

A Spring Ode of Hope

 

Hues within multi-ribbon catches,

Sunset flames adorn highest branches.

Chickadee-serenades are stirring.

Crescent Haloes,

A sapphire yearning.

Firmament full of Cornelian Patches,

Lustrous dreams of reality flashes.

Colors of meaning,

All adorning.

Living hope rings early morning.

World within Catches glory without.

Grande coalesce to future route.

A cascade of brilliant colors in this one. I think the poet is emphasizing them to capture the emergence of new life in the spring season. Spring is the season of new hope, the time of resurrection from the tomb of winter. The last lines indicate a coalescence of within with without, a metaphor for the possibilities of the spirit, as reflected by nature.

John the Baptist,
Youv'e thought it through..I really love that..'resurrection from the tomb of winter.' I have many shirt tail relatives that live in really cold places they and others just can't wait for winter to melt away into Spring. We need color and light and warmth and nurture. You have spoken well.
Thanks so much and blessings,
Kathy

Spring is a transitional pre season easing its way into
summer. .as Autumn is transitional in preparing us for winter..I always tend to think there are just 2 main seasons summer and winter..I love how you paint spring with its refreshing vibrancy in color..beautiful piece.. dear Kathy..

Fran Marie,
Thanks much for your own take on this one. Life is just chock full of seasons-transitions. It's neat that we all feel differently and take in life according to who we are. Your review was lovely.
Blessings,

i think your closing two lines are killer ... wraps up what comes before as a person melds into that sense of oneness ... assurance ... blessedness ... i especially like this line " A sapphire yearning." ... what this means to me?? hmmmmmmmm i am meditating in a forest as the sun goes down ... there is a loves connection between the sun and moon ... the moon is dependent .. but has dreams .. and so inspires dreams independently ...
"Colors of meaning,
All adorning." ....makes me think of Fall, tho your poem is of Spring :) ..I see a looking past Winter's sleep ... and the sun going down .. there is hope ... and again .. such an insightful Life look in your closing lines ... reminds me of the Beatles song:

Einstein Noodle,
How nice to see beauty in this world. It is far from perfect but there are so many gems of lovely strewn about as we walk our daily lives. It's cool how you have shared some of your own things you like identify with what I have found lovely as I wrote this simple little piece. Simple to me I guess. Here's hoping we all keep finding new moments to cheer for.
Bless you and thanks for your inspiring review.

Sunset flames adorn highest branches and we see the multi ribbon catches. The beauty of spring is very well perceived and you have interestingly narrated the beauty. Early morning gives us hopes of living and we feel this of course. This poem is excellently penned with elaboration of vision. This is an excellent poem. ..100

Kumarmani Mahakul,
After the cold the blossoms come along. Contrast is so enticing between dormancy of winter to Spring's life. I was just feeling inspired to write from the heart. Thanks so much for commenting with such thought and kindness.
Bless you so much.

"Firmament full of Cornelian Patches, Crescent Haloes"

Grandness in futures route condense...

Hi,
Yes, nature is the big inspiration that stirs the heart. I wish you a special basket of your own inner coalesce of word wonders.

To me, springtime symbolizes renewal. You use strong imagery in your poem that conveys the feeling of new beginnings. Your message is stated with many original-sounding observations from a springtime tableau that is unlike what many writers describe in plentiful springtime poems. Your message also seems to suggest the Easter theme of rising up from some previously lower point in one's life or mindset (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Kathy Van Kurin]

barleygirl,
I would be interested to be able to see what puts a sparkle in your heart now that Spring is a memory and summer a reality. I enjoy hearing about your stomping grounds-where you live and it's own unique beauty. Thank you for your sweet encouraging words. I so, so, so love it.
Sending blessings your way.
Kathy

[barleygirl]

[BlackPrince]

It is uniquely and wonderfully written picturesquely, with the imagery vivid and colourful as spring itself.

Well done!!!

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thank you very much for seeing what is relayed in your own unique way. It's still Spring time for awhile and I hope your eyes are finding their own beauty close to your own home and life!

Spring is my favorite season... especially when I lived in Pennsylvania... after those long cold months I couldn't wait to open the house up and smell the air.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

It is great to have free flowing air through our homes..spring breezes so fair!
Amen and amen, I'll take it.
Thanks for the nice word picture.
Kathy

[TL Boehm]

I love this one. It speaks to me of beautiful skies, sunrises, starscapes reflected in quiet water. The way flowers bloom...well penned

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Tl Boehm,
Yes, the seasons always hold so much charm. I sure love the season of Spring and it's own sweet character!

It is the renewal of life, the reemergence of hope and the rainbow of colors in wholesome dance of the spirit. You see things in new ways and spring forward to joyful times. Amazing how we can learn lessons from everything around us. Marvelous penning.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Thank you Sami,
Your generous words are always encouraging. I like your phrase above in your review...'see things in new ways..' Oh, that stagnation of spirit is held at bay!
Blessings,
Kathy
