A Work in Progress. When not doing the devil's work, I'm the single parent of two great young men, living playing and working in beautiful Thunder Bay Ontario. That's at the western end of Lake Superior - the North end of Highway 61. from here, you can just drive all the way to New Orleans, though I have yet to do it.

Spring (Another Old Poem)

Rate: 9 Flag

 

The spring of love has come,

New-born flowers reach

Towards life-giving sun.

Venus arises from winter's sleep,

Eros' bow to bless.

Winter's shadows pulled back,

Like a curtain, unmasking proscenium,

Love's play begins. The chorus

welcomes us in. The dance

Begins. May-pole banners flutter

In the wind, they carry

Gentle promises of joy.

Spring is the time of lovers.

Spring is our season.

Springs has finally come to Colorado. It is spectacular and your poem encompasses all that it is. Thank you Brian. Happy Sunday.

This is lovely BB. Very much so. Keep cleaning out those closets and drawers if this is what you are finding.

I had to go and look up "proscenium." You are teaching me new things Brian. Spring is a wonderful time isn't it?
