Poems

Springtime –

Once of the year

The grip of

Winter’s

Slackening.

One

Morning bright

The sun

Bursts

Into song.

The Winter’s

Gone!

Awaken

All you

Slumberers!

Rejoice!

O World

That Spring

Has

Come again!

A fragrance

Wrapped

in Most

Enchanted

Blooms

Will soon

Disperse

Across

Our

Throbbing land.

Drift past

Our windows

From

The Distant

Hedgerows!

O gentle

Cherry tree

Kiss now

The Azure

‘Morn!

And brick red

Chimneys

No more

This year

Need work.

Casting their

Shadows

O’er

Sleepy

Rooftops.

Hide not

The Warmth

And Sunshine

From

Our Eyes.

( Springtime . . . - promises)
