Blossom

Blossom

Blossom

like the flowers

on a tree.

Grow

to be all

you want to be.

Branch

out and take in

all that you can see.

Set

the beauty in

your soul free.

Weighed Down

Weighed Down

I feel the weight of

all that is taken away.

My shoulders droop,

my steps are slow, uncertain,

hardly worth the exertion.

The pain permeates my

bones and my spirit.

Loss is heavy.

Field of Flowers

Field of Flowers

The field of flowers

catches my eye.

It showcases all its powers.

The field of flowers

delights for hours.

As blooms wave and insects fly,

the field of flowers

catches my eye.

Enjoy the first days of spring. This poem is a triolet.

Reality Check

Green shoots on branches

bring thoughts of a new season.

Snow begins to fall.

Sparkle

Sparkle

The sparkle

is enchanting,

crystalline.

Holds the eye

so the foot

steps where

it shouldn't.

Starts a slide

that may only

be stopped

by a fall

hard enough

to crack bone.

One Flower

One Flower

One flower begins to open.

The stem is bent but not broken.

Atop, golden segments show.

The bloom is still joined to the ground.

The petals unfurl though they're downed.

Beauty comes round, a bright glow.

This poem is written in a Welsh form called cywydd llosgyrnog.

Light

Light enables us

to see more or to see less

in striking detail.

Trees

Spring re-dresses the
skeletons of winter, gives
them back their rustle.
