Spring in The Southern Hemisphere

September rain graces Klimt’s garden

White, purple, yellow, pink, orange and red

This is not the time for writing poetry

nor painting in water or oil colours

This moment

is perfect for an orgasmic soak

in Spring’s afterglow

Mossward (Greensward)

Spring is contagious
breaking out in mossward

Love Comes in Spring

Living Poetry picture prompt

Spring rain
softly
land on
hope
that
my love
will grow
new vines
to circle
your heart
shielding you
from blizzard
wrapping you
with tenderness
only lovers
know

Yellow

My poem Yellow earned an honourable mention in Gabriela’s poetry contest. Original post Here

Beneath the golden wattle
We meet again to read poetry
The spring wind pays us a visit
I pick yellow out of your tawny locks
and brush them off your lips with a kiss
Your freckles bloom like pansies

This poem is inspired by Gabriela Marie Milton’s poem titled ‘Yellow’
in her latest published “Woman: Splendor and Sorrow”.

Songbird

Golden dreams fill my vision
A future is awake
On a bed of promises
A feast of sweet nectar
A vantage point to serenade my love

September Spring

In Septembers
we celebrated our union
we grieved our loss
we broke our covenant

September
such significance
It was all too overwhelming
for a Spring
of self discovery

Shades of spring

Today is the first day of spring
The dry azure sky opens up
for the coming days
Shades of green set off multitude of
red, orange, yellow, violet, magenta and rose
a palette any artist is eager to ply

Where I grew up
it had a different shade of spring

A sprawling port city in a river delta
is warm and humid all year round
with no clear division of seasons
The subtropical mist brought on endless rain
It made its way through the four walls
It smelt mould
It warned me of fatigue
It made a rain loving poet
struggle to create

praise the magnolias
yearning to the marble sky
arms stretching for spring
