Ice transformed by sun
into gold rivulets
with sunlight playing
on the surface
flow down streets
and onto earth,
nudging spring
into being.
Song Choice: Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles
This poem was inspired by the prompt given over at Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads, Micro-poetry challenge.
Lovely words. It seems like Spring is on our collective Facebook mind. :-)
ReplyDeleteGoodness, yes! We're about to have another 60 degree day.
DeleteSo evocative of that yearning this time of the year. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I always find this phase between the shifting seasons inspiring.
DeleteThe gold rivulets creates a beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteIt's a image that stuck with me from my 20's, walking on my college campus on one of those freaky early spring days were you can have mountains of snow from a storm a few days earlier in 60 degrees ans sunshine. It still is one of the more vivid memories of how beautiful that place was.
DeleteLuv the resonance of sunlight throughout
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in to read mine
Much love...
Thanks!
Deletenudging spring.... nice
ReplyDeleteWell spring feels like it needs a nudge sometimes :D
DeleteStunning use of language and imagery :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
DeleteThis is beautiful, Rommy. From the "rivulets" (love that word, by to way) to the sound of ice melting towards spring... Yum.
ReplyDeleteI love the word too. To me, it evokes a delicate and and rarefied quality of snow and sunshine in the same moment.
DeleteThis is just like the spring I'm waiting for.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
Delete"nudging spring" is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite happy with that phrase too
DeleteI love that "nudging spring".
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteThe perfect first drink for earth to begin...described beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThere is something magical about that first big thaw
DeleteLovely 'small poem," Rommy. Harder for me to imagine since it's been so very long since I've seen real ice or snow. I also love all the Beatle songs, this one, "It's Alright," so "Wake up little Darlin'."
ReplyDelete..
In the part of the USA I live in, there's no shortage of ice and snow. While I'm not always crazy about it, there is a certain stark beauty to it.
