The Promise

The frog’s call,

Grasshopper’s whir,

And the ‘Chi chi chi!’

Of the gecko

 

Weave a tapestry

Of sound

That permeates

The still evening air.

 

In the silent voice

Of the seasons

A promise is uttered:

“Summer is coming”

“Summer is coming”.

"The Promise"
Zugzwang,
Each season has it's own particular charm and individuality. As summer approaches Spring becomes a place of softness awaiting the warmth needed for crops to grow and life to re-energize.
The song is given.
Beautiful poem!
Blessings to you.

Yes, this is one of my happy poems (I think there are about 3 lol). It's the end of spring here, but actually summer has begun and the plants are going crazy. Glad you liked the poem, Kathy!

Thank you Kathy.
You'll be interested to know I'm writing a poem on the Ecstacy of Saint Theresa by Bernini at the moment, even though I'm an atheist lol.

Really enjoyed this poem - capturing natures moments is a joy & this one does for me. Thanks for your review of Ode to the Oyster Catcher - glad you liked it. I'm new to this online posting of writing so really appreciated my first review. Best wishes to you.
Ps not sure about the rating part of things as yet - don't think I can put a % on something I enjoy :-)

Likewise. I don't put percentages on my reviews either. You should put more of your stuff up, I'd like to read it. Thanks for the review also. I appreciate the intelligent comments. Very refreshing!
