Another Year
The years dash by;
Seasons repeated over and over…
But each defined by its own personality
as unique as yours or mine.
Spring warmth is upon us once again.
Airy bamboo 
Cloaks sunny windows;
Bright green
Peeking between twined twigs,
Scene outside seen betwixt.
Birds float
On early blue,
Progression measured
Branch after branch
By the grand oak
Spreading her arms
Above my head.
Shadows crisp, sharp outlines against
Bright sunshine on this last day of winter.
Spring gracing us with an early welcome appearance:
Cottonwood tufts drift willy-nilly
With breezes and gales
Spiced with fragrance of
Earthy pear blossoms,
Fresh mown grass
And water on thirsty black dirt.

perfectly lovely! a reflection of the poet
Thank you! Miss ya!
This is beautiful! I can picture you sitting in your kitchen staring out to your back yard writing it.. Love you!
Or reclining on the deck, dreaming the words…
Love you, too, Sweetie
‘…thirsty black dirt…’Reminds me of blackland clay, crustover suitable only to the bare sole.
love those nature images,
magical and beautiful wording..
have fun.
🙂
Beautiful. I love the rhythm and the grand oak – but then I have a thing for trees…
So evocative! I have the same attraction for windows…
I wish i could write like youdo! very powerful!
what brilliant images and imageries.. and flow to boot! loved it.
Here’s My Poem For Poets Rally
Oho! Its really intense and strong! Bravo!!
Cheers!
Awesome! I especially thought the “shadows”, “sharp”, and “sunshine” created a nice “sh” sound, as if things were becoming more and more quiet as you read on, and it left a nice silence for the last few lines to hang in.
Beautifully written, a wonderful reflection over the nature and time….I enjoyed every word
I liked how you tied in pictures with each part of the poem. It all went very well together.
Debi, you made me smile. I can almost feel the freshness and warmth of spring by reading your word, despite the difference of “seasons” I get here in the tropic. And true, each season, each year is unique. Love your beautiful rumination!
do vote if you have a moment, loved your poetry,
good luck.
🙂
Its great, reflection of the poet…. wow
Nice piece!!
