Its not so much that Spring has arrived As Winter, having done something shameful Attempts to slink away unnoticed And now, I am awaiting the sun The actual sun, not this cold, yellow wash Or the thin broth of April I wait for the sun a man could wear Not July’s desiccating presence Or the adamant wither of August I feel the need for a basking sun One that will bring the reptile to the rock And weary men to riverbanks To worship the way an old man might By whittling himself a prayer of contemplation Or shearing away months of winters growth As sacrifice for the birds to make their temples |

 nothing completes a Saturday better than a new wranx write! So, did you shave your beard and/or cut top-hairs for birdies nesting materials? You've been missed, m'dear. I'd enjoy basking on a river rock, listening to some winter tales. |

" The actual sun, not this cold, yellow wash on the thin broth of April." What a great line. You poems are alway full of creativity and the vision of a skilled poet. Ida |

You are one of the all time greatest poets, and your readers are lucky that you share your work on these blue pages. *Laffing* at Kacys reply.  Excellent poem, wranx~ |

*laughing* Why yes! I've been in the habit of sitting by the river on the first nice day (with a basking sun) and trimming the beard somewhat.. And yes, I've found birdsnests containing bits of that winter growth (the gray is very easy to spot) Thanks for reading, m'friends |
