Everywhere, birds sing
As crocuses warm and break the earth.
Tomorrow: daffodils
And the laughter of children
Rising like bears
Craving the sweetness of summer flowers
In honey, in sunshine, in memory.
Springtime:
Everyone, everything, everywhere: hungry.

Oh lordy yes, I am overwhelmed with the epidemic. Come on sunshine and warmer weather. Your poem hit it on the head, an Epidemic.
ReplyDeleteI like your header. I didn't know why you changed it but it is a reminder that there will soon be some beach time.
A few days ago, the birds who have nested in our carport arrived. He was outside my studio with his loud song, as if to say, "Look, I'm back!" He is looking for a mate, and I hope he finds her so they can start the nest building. His mate from the last two years did not return this year...but perhaps like human's their meeting is not for a lifetime. Yes, spring is here! A time of renewal.
ReplyDeletean amazing season ahead though not everyone would love it... you just know how to capture the feeling.

ReplyDeleteWhat a welcoming poem as fresh as spring. I am so inspired by your take on epidemic. P.S., I love your header. Turtles are so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of us all being hungry for Spring, for renewal and joy. Lovely writing.
ReplyDeleteAh- the Epidemic of Spring Fever- I was this close (2 fingers almost touching) to writing about that as well but went in a different direction. We ALL need to jump in on YOUR epidemic, don't we? Love the turtles... :)
ReplyDeleteHungry is the perfect word! For me, it's my worn spirit that becomes revitalized and hungry for the renewal of spring. The winters wear me down! I loved your poem...so lovely.
ReplyDeleteSpring still a little tenuous in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteRising like bears, craving the sweet.
Hungry, yes hungry.
Very pretty, Sandy. The world is hungry and thin right now. Goes for the people, animal life, plants, and fishes.

You poem fits this eagle family very nicely (I think).
