In the Height of Spring
Virginia Salter

alpine grandeur
lies
beneath a gray-cloud sky
as day moves toward the dusk
and canary sun
shines brightly
upon the rising land

horizon climbs
with its step aerobics,
pulsates
the minutes by,
in spring's edging
toward summer

May 26, 2002

I want a title that will reflect being 'mid-spring' and the movement of time is now toward summer. Ah...how about "Spring's Crescendo" ?????

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

VAS,
Not good at names, liked the write. How about
Spring falls for Summer?

Thanks, Seymour. I must say, titles are perhaps the toughest part. One wants them to reflect a summary, or main idea, without giving away any reason to bring one in to the poem. That is telling the punch line so to speak.

I want the title to reflect being mid-spring and moving toward summer. In considering that spring doesn't wane, but rather heightens toward summer, I came up with:

"Spring's Crescendo"

Whatcha' think? I really think I like it.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

YAY!!! Oooohhhh...I love Springs Crescendo too, I think it is perfect to symbolize the heart of all spring, this is breathtaking! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, may the flowers of spring all dance for you this spring! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
