and then...

and then...

 

 

the eggplants are shimmering in the frosted

sunscreen

high-definition droplets

on the shivering plants

 

the lazy daffodils droop drearily

the cold spring bitter 

from last summer's unwelcome intrusion

storm rains burst on to the scene

 

havoc wreaked with damaging deluge

a flood of anger

spring wants its time

dare to muscle it out with calm skies

 

it will reply.

Seems as if spring is a bit perturbed this year....what do they say about messing with Mother Nature?
Nice one my friend.

Winter drags by and spring tries to push in,Life is no longer normal as the seasons seem confused and much of life is strange now ;-] Nice write.

dear Jacob… we have a Hyacinth in bloom and a Bud on our Rose bush… but then the Cardinals bring Luck to every season… and even the Seagulls pray and get answers. Awesome poetry with a style and your famous smile. Bless your 💜 Heart… always, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I wonder what they pray for and what answers those gulls get?!
thank you for your kind words,
j,

[Patricia Wedel]

I believe for every Challenge … a Seagull prays for a solution… they are very aware and watch over us with deep feelings … they are so appreciative when we spread food upon the Beach or even by our Rappahannock River… perhaps they are our guardian Angels… as the Mystery unfolds. softly, Pat

dear Jacob… your Poem has touched my 💜 Heart as Spring emerges with Sunshine and drops of Jupiter… peace and ❤️ love… Pat

Come spring. come, so we can have fun; reply to the poet, reply. An then, the poet will write his marvelous poem.

These false springs and little days of feeling normal - hard to know where we stand and what is happening.

Winter does seem to be dragging its cold, ice caked heels this year. For me spring gets the short straw as it seems to come ever later to be replaced by summers that are ever early, doesn't seem that she now has her allotted time.
Hope you are recovering well Jacob

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your words, Gee....yes, still working on the recovery.

on a more positive note we have been able to go out the front door, slide across the front deck, across the driveway and right up to the vehicle with only a slight hop up then necessary to get inside the vehicle

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, it is crazy...thank you, Dave,

I loved these words.....

The seasons seem to have an agenda of their own. The spring seems so bitter indeed and so formidable. I shudder to think of the consequences, if anything or anyone provoke it further. It will reply and how!

There is such drama in Nature.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, there is...thank you, Divya,
