Maybe this will be the month
All restrictions will be lifted
Yearning for the “old normal” to return

Tag: new life
Someday Soon
Dreaming
Of someday
Of brighter tomorrows
In rooms smelling of hyacinths
Surrounded
By sounds
Of angelic host singing sweetly
Around heaven’s great throne
Filled with light
From Him
Butterfly Cinquain
The April Days Speak
The days
Ramble on
Speaking
Nothing
Diverse
Until a
Goldfinch
Visits
Bringing
Color
And a
Glimpse
Of joy
Suddenly
The days
Become
Alive
With hope
Speaking
New life
Will soon
Arrive

Oregon’s Evergreens – Arbor Day 2020
Stately they stand
Strong branches holding new life
Sheltered from storms
As wind and rain beat
Steadily upon their mossy boughs
Stately they stand
Green giants waving
Strong branches holding new life
All across our land
Some are chosen
As lumber to keep people
Sheltered from storms

“To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees.” — President Theodore Roosevelt.
“Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future.”

The Leaves Speak of Life
Leaves surround me
As I walk thru my garden,
Those of Bleeding Hearts
And Roses of all colors,
Lilacs and Lilies,
Leafy green Vincas and Ferns,
All speak to me of life,
That in the dark days of winter
Seemed lost, but was asleep.

NaPoWriMo Day 11–Prompt: significance of flowers, but I chose to write about the leaves instead as they are what are most prominent now, since many plants aren’t blooming but are leafing out.
March’s Marquee
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
As I walk the dreary way
Coming soon” the signs say
Birds sing of a brighter day
Spring color will soon be here
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
Triolet
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
A Time To Sleep
Upturned
Branches of hope,
Dreaming of spring’s promise,
Reach as if anticipating
New life
Cinquain
Assurance
In the dark of night
Kaleidoscope reveals
Broken dreams and tears
Yet the promise of new life
Appears amid the fragments

Let it not be said
Winter’s breath impaired us
Pickets wear purple

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 27–Prompt: You can pick a line you like from one of Shakespeare’s sonnets and use it as the genesis for a new poem.
(I chose Sonnet 06 “Then let not winter’s ragged hand deface” as my inspiration)
