***A Poem for Spring***

My entry to the Spring edition of DU's online magazine, The Necessary Language... The timid and tender Greens of spring Fearful of winter’s strike So new on the trees Backlit by the sun Pale and shimmering In the hesitant light So cautiously Growing day by day, Soon they will be The brassy overheated Greens of high summer Their virginity lost In the sun’s harsh light

I did kind of think you might be thinking along those lines.... At least this one isn't weird and sad like last weeks'! Who'd a thunk it? CaPeggy can write about happier things! Glad you like it! :loveya:

10. My dear crim son...

Ah....thank you! And this one didn't spring out of me the way the 'weird' one did... I'd made some notes in the car one day driving home... And then I forgot them! Until yesterday... I dug them out, and started writing! With this result. I showed it to my husband, and he pointed out some weak places... So I edited those out....and he said, wow! So there you have it, sweetie... :hug:

13. I just slipped the ice here

In Nova Scotia Canada And I btoke my clavicle and a rib I'm in a sling F*uck spring Does that rhyme? PS Does anyone have Chaucer's (circa 1450) poem about spring and the cuckoo, I Tried Googling it but couldn' find it. It starts with "Summer is icumen in, lhudly sing cuckoo.." I lost my old poetry book.

14. Your little poem has an interesting rhythm...

I'm sorry about your clavicle and rib... Those really hurt! I don't have an anthology that has that Chaucer poem in it... :hi:
