sevenling: spring blossoms

we lounge under cherry trees

in blossoming hues of white, 

light pink and reddish pink

we listen to sounds of spring – 

chirping birds, children laughing,

the ice cream truck’s jingle 

if only this season would last forever

- This poem was inspired by dVerse Haibun MOnday: first (cherry) blossoms.  I wrote my poem as sevenling rather than a haibun poem.

cherry blossoms dance
in the breeze under blue sky
as spring sun smiles

Spring

those blossoming flowers

could conjure up such

poetic words so easily

buzzing bees my muses,  

as words flow smoothly

across my pages

if only the season

could last lifetimes

I would fill volumes

of various loving words

but I know now that

each season has its place

one cannot appreciate

warm happiness without

feeling a bit of cold pain

when Spring is late

my roses struggle to bloom

for winter has Spring entombed

tell me the sun will return

its warmth is what I now yearn

- Another tanaga poem inspired by dVerse Meeting the Bar: Tanaga prompt

spring me

spring me

into dreams

into fields

of blooming

flowers

spring me

out of darkness

into days when

the sun lingers

a bit longer

spring me

into new love

into warm arms

that will make

me feel safe

chase away

winter blues

that want to

hold my heart

a bit longer

- Written for Writers' Digest Poetic Aside Prompt 432: spring poem and dVerse Open Link Night #216

buds of Spring

on a Spring morning

buds begin to break through vines

for you have return

to warm my ice cold heart that

has been weeping since autumn

birds sing melodies

our garden blooms once again

please just stay with me

let us chase the sun and moon

into summer’s horizons
