NaPoWriMo #26
in the woodland shade
snow patches transform
white carpet remains
trillium brings spring
waking the robins
Daughter of the White Fox, Sister of the Otters
in the woodland shade
snow patches transform
white carpet remains
trillium brings spring
waking the robins
Winter’s white cloak melts
before the green gown of spring
covers Her body
first tentative blooms
making their way through the mud
color explosion
at Winter Solstice
the darkness begins to yield,
with dawn on Imbolc
sap, life blood, climbs from the snow,
the Spring Equinox
brings the warm winds to the land,
glorious Beltaine
rainbow of fertility,
Summer Solstice sun
midday heat brings fruition,
Lammas, bread rises
the feast of the corn maiden,
the Fall Equinox
second harvest, thanksgiving,
Samhain, thinnest veil
farewell to the fading year,
as the wheel spins round again.
before the greening
the rains come and the snow melts
the season of mud
kangaroo kisses
a warm whiskery welcome
greeting me each spring
mercurial spring
bringing storms with wind and hail
to purge the winter
Cloaked Monk was kind enough to include my very late offering of Patterns into the March Challenge, and now I feel that I should try to climb back up on the wagon. Today’s prompt:
March 22nd is “National Goof Off Day.” Reflect on spontaneity.
With the Equinox just past, this seemed most appropriate.
cleansing breath of spring
a child’s spontaneity
dancing in the sun
winter’s memory dismissed
melting away with the snow
