The Seventy Eighth, Mar. 19, 2011

Sunshine warms the grasses
too long hidden by the snow
a new growth begins to rise
and with it lift my hopes

a small yellow glow is seen
peeking above the brown
as the first flower of spring
the prolific dandelion

do not despise this weed
for it is a gift to us, you see
as the flower petals gathered
creating a refreshing wine

  1. For some reason this one is catching my interest because of the poetic nature - the short, clipped lines. The messages appears clear, but I suspect there is a message within the message.

  2. I often find myself reading back over the words and find that I have once again proven my theory that my mind often does things without my conscious awareness. This is a case in point. I can clearly see a deeper meaning, filled with subtle nuances that were not a part of the writing it the time. It intrigues and baffles me at the same time.
