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
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
