A Pair of Poems

Some poetic reflections relating to the season for you today:

The Scent of Spring

The scent of Spring
Pierces
Through the crispness of this night
Blooming refreshment
Flowers
Awesome enlivening in the air

Rain awakens
the Earth
Green grass glistens
Within worms crawl

Up shoots the tree's
Soft wood
Reaches outward
to fingertips
of vibrant, young leaves
Growing
So tender, verdant yet

Birds chirp
Announcing
Warmth
of new daylight
Stretching its horizons
as Solstice comes into sight


Feeling the Sting

Bees abuzz
Pollinating
Young love
Blossoms
