JANUARY.

It’s very early in the year, but I caught the promise.


Just one sweet hint

of a smile

upon the lips of spring,

 

the softly blown kiss:

a whisper…

 

this season does

impatient grow.

 

Emerald threads of

promise held

 

where buds now strive

to bloom the bough,

 

and birds a’flutter

round them,

court.

The inversion works really well here, and that surprised me as it usually throws me, a lovely idea too. Best Keith

Smashing poem, Sweetwater. Those early hints have gone into hiding at the moment. Roll on the spring!
