O you:

 

Each shoot, a merry jest of the past,

How many drear days

Saddened memory;

 

Then you, dancer,

Warrior, child of light,

Spring, where souls dazzle

Again in your bright

Swathe of coloratura.

 

Three years of being shine

On our grim, burn scales

Of hurt to charred enrichement,

 

Let us grow.

This wonderful poem is our Pick of the Day. Do share on Facebook and Twitter. Painting is an early Spring Munch and is in the public domain, hope it's suitable.

Young Mistress K makes our heart race, though we are old and gnarly: a forest family of saplings and wizened bark.

Best to you

On occasion, a light flickers, reveals the good.

not sure I understand this, at all. But I got a strong feeling of renewal. Loved "being shine". And "let us grow" is powerful

Wonderful. Simply beautiful, with just enough of a whisper of stark to give it bite. Powerful and well deserved picks.

The impression - of words dancing - of Springs renewal - simply magic - a worthy poem of the week.
