Colors of April My heart is dancing at the splendid sight As spring time colors fill my longing eyes Of redbud pink and apple blossom white Along the wooded stream in filtered light The birthing pastel colors tranquilize My heart is dancing at the splendid sight From out of winter into floral bright From yellowness of daffodil to rise Of redbud pink and apple blossom white New petals burst in sunny morning light And dabble rainbow colors of the skies My heart is dancing at the splendid sight I wait for him to share in spring’s delight In visions of our love I fantasize Of redbud pink and apple blossom white The stars will be ablaze one magic night These April moments I will memorize My heart is dancing at the splendid sight Of redbud pink and apple blossom white Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 04-02-2000).] |

This is perfect! The meter, the rhyme, the imagery--everything! Elizabeth "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |

Denise, As I recall, the monthly villanelle was your idea, remember? Thanks for the "beautiful" Balladeer, I never thought free verse was easy, and the few I have written don't look like they were. As for structured, it is really easy, and seems to me, you were the one who taught me all about villanelles and sonnets Thank you for the lovely comments Vandana, Very sweet of you to read and comment on so many of my poems. Thanks, vandana Marge, Your compliments overwhelm, thank you so much for such remarks Elizabeth, I certainly appreciate your remarks, Thanks Whtdove, So glad you liked this. Well then, let's dance! Thank you, dear nan and Cheryl Lynn, then please join us! Thank you both Doreen, From you a "fabulous" is humbling. Thank you Liz |
