In intricate pose, in
the wonder of white, though
she feels the winter stress

lone bird taps the vortex
where leaf and branch
will one day meet

but for now her mood
stays idles in wait along

with you, and with me
and those who've ever
felt the love of Spring

When you capture a thing Emmarose you nail it! The warm days that are melting the 15 inches of snow make the birds sing loud and clear.

'Her' mood hasn't long to wait now.

Lovely poetry. Intricate and delicate as a rosette.

Yes, you have the knack of getting into the intricate loveliness of a subject, as you have here, Emma.

Yep . . . we wait and when it comes it's twice as beautiful (I love spring --- having really
spring-like weather here the last few days and the birds in particular are going nuts with glee.

What a splendid offering for Spring.

Such gentle poetry deserves a bump, now more than ever.
