February flurries into March—
Spiraea cluster
In tight-white fistfuls;
Lemon wafts
From sweet breath-of-spring,
Cool drips of honeysuckle.
Iris reticulata!—
A purple-tread carpet,
My low-lying Lent;
Jonquils and daffodils sound
White-peach-orange tones;
I yield to conical shade
Where a deep-blush camellia
Clings to morning
And a companion
Downturns bell-like,
Ruffled by golden rot,
A season-sink,
Winter’s bleeding bed
Of fallen petals—
Weed-fringed and
Pine-straw punctured.
Lovely lovely all. Makes me look forward to spring coming to Colorado. March is typically our snowiest month, but luckily warm enough here at the foothills to melt it fast.
Hi Karen. The snow is melting today. Spring is in the mid-Atlantic air. BTW I checked out the Kimmel memoir. Yes, it is a great model. PW review said it wasn’t a much classic memoir as joined vignettes. I relate to that.
My parched eyes thank you.
Beautifully penned Catherine. Best wishes & happy weekend! Aquileana 😀
Thank you. Loved your last post. Saw it fast. Will go back to comment. It is great knowing you. Burn the Fire is so cool–Canadian Indie filmmaker.
