It rained
overnight
Instead of
dampening thoughts
They are lifted
anew
So off for brisk
walk
No feeling
miserable
And smile as you
go
No matter how old
You are reborn in
springtime
Cracking life’s
shell
Smell the promise
now
As our story is
retold
And here to enjoy
Now you are at
one
With the world
not detached
The joy in being
See, laugh and
savour
Nature’s rich
fecundity
Wonder in today
yes spring is lovely
ReplyDeleteIt always fascinates me how as you welcome Spring there, we prepare to embrace Winter here. Just when the world seems so small, it gets a bit bigger again. Lovely poem. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis is just marvelous writing, Robin. I like all the stanzas, but that first stanza is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThere is a positivity about Spring that you bring to your poem. I like your film crits.Have not seen any of them but will do.
ReplyDeleteAn Ode to Spring! What a fine set of Haiku which, I must admit, have made me feel quite disconsolate as we are moving into a wet and windy early winter. It's a bit like Hartlepool on a rainy Wednesday here.
ReplyDeleteI love that you see the positive and the uplifting as well. Great words :)
ReplyDeleteyou can always be trusted to see light..shine..wonder..for that thank you..jae
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your cogent film criticism.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Then again, fall is nice too. And spring comes again to us all. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm having a tiny problem I can't seem to be able to subscribe your feed, I'm using google reader by the way.
ReplyDeleteMmm, awake and new in this refreshing rain. Yours is spring and ours is fall, cleansing just the same. Very much so enjoyed this piece! Happy springtime!!
