A Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell
"

She is planted that she might flower free.

"
Spring yawns; and blossoms spill into my ear,
as winter breaks the mirror of a tear.
Eyes rhapsodize in piquant shades of blue.
Kisses fall soft as rain in morning dew.

Dawn unbraids luminous hair with a sigh,
bright filaments of light that span the sky;
and molten is the moment of return,
when roses in their whirling start to burn.

On prisms of a rainbow pirouette,
she sashays into golden silhouette
then somersaults into divinest art
as words that woo the poet's beating heart.

A source of divination born in rows
of silken strokes of poetry and prose,
in the green palm of all eternity,
she is planted that she might flower free.

Your exquisitely fine eye and ear never cease to amaze me.

Filaments of incandescence arise from your natural attentive grace.

"Spring yawns; and blossoms spill into my ear,/as winter breaks the mirror of a tear." Winter breaks the mirror of a tear. Stunningly cinematic.

"A source of divination born in rows/of silken strokes of poetry and prose,/in the green palm of all eternity,/she is planted that she might flower free."

The Source-erer's garden of your expressive soul-mind is the most beautiful place I could ever linger. . ."when roses in their whirling start to burn."

Flower free, divine darling.

"Dawn unbraids luminous hair with a sigh..."
Golly what a picture!
Reminds me of a time when a had a job, down near the coast (pre-Katrina), that had me getting off work around dawn a large part of the year, and I was privileged to witness those luminous locks unbraiding on many mornings, being as it were combed out by a silver brace of celestial cirrostratus...
Thanks for evoking a most pleasant memory, THE most, perhaps, of the last decade....

'On prisms of a rainbow pirrouette,...'
The words among many others reveal your skill as a practitioner of words; pressing science until the beauty of the truth is found.

I think this poem captures the physical beauty of spring.

Poetry has been my passion since I was about fifteen years old, and I love the structure of rhyme and meter moreso than just randomly throwing words upon a page without any form whatsoever. Whi.. more..
