Faint fluttering flicker
Among springtime’s treasures
Seeking sustenance
Among garden beauties
Aroused from winter’s sleep

Let it not be said
Winter’s breath impaired us

#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.

In the Aftermath Of Winter
Searching for sunshine
A tiny bud pushes forth
Roses rise again

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 10–Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that starts from a regional phrase, particularly one to describe a weather phenomenon. You may remember one from growing up
Goodnight and Goodbye
It’s “Goodbye Old Man Winter”
We’ve waited for today
Not sad to see you go
Haiku
Tomorrow is the First Day Of Spring! Yay!
Marching
Basking in the warmth of her sunshine
I walked awhile with March
Dreaming of hot summer days
Until she led me through a glen
Where winds blew cold
Thru shaded trees
Where Winter
Hid Spring’s
Smile
Nonet
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. —Charles Dickens
The Promise Of Spring
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Winter shall soon be done
Oh worry not weary one
Spring’s life has begun
And winter must succum
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Triolet
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22
Hailstorm
Spring’s visit was short
She danced with us all day
Til Winter struck back
Haiku
Impromptu Visitation
The morning
Sunshine woke her
Spring couldnt wait
She conspired
She slipped past winters gate
And visited us

Perky Purple Posies
In the midst of winter
Flowers in February
Brighten the afternoon
