 Artist: Adam Jones Nature's Renewal by Linda L. Dowd Thunder is rumbling thru’ distant hills. Rain overflows the country rills. Lightning streaks a roiling spring sky. ~ For Nature’s renewal is nigh. Showers of spring help plant-life grow. Earth drinks deep from spring shower flow. Returning geese go winging by, ~ For Nature’s renewal is nigh. Drab browns and grays will soon be green. All will be fresh, and new, and clean. Flowers will bloom and grass grow high, ~ For Nature’s renewal is nigh. . |

EA, Linda dear, Your words are true and exciting. The geese are in. The reindeer are having their babies (and I can see them at the University farm). The puddles are deep and icky and fun to drive through. Soon it will be summer - and for now? Well, I am loving the 'breakup'. xoxoxo Alison |

Loved this, and the repetition of 'For Nature’s renewal is nigh' is evocative. |

critical mass ~ It's been a loooong winter! In fact, we have snow predicted for tomorrow! I enjoy all the seasons ~ which are quite dramatic and separate from the other, here in Canada. HOWEVER, winter can drag on a bit too long for my liking! lol EA |

Charming Guy ~ Ooops, 'Chalmette' Guy!  I really like the repetitiveness of the B line in a Kyrielle. I'm pleased that you found repeitition of my B line, "evocative".  Have a happy spring! EA |

Prasad ~ Dry, hot weather, is the most trying for me. I'm a water person who prefers cool weather. It must be very difficult for you to endure a scorching summer. May your area have the renewal of our cooling spring rains. Love & a 'cool' hug, Linda |
