Happy Spring to my friends in the northern hemisphere. This week’s full worm moon coincided with 2019’s vernal equinox setting into motion the onset of spring. The signs are everywhere. Daffodils dapple the landscape, birds are rustling, engaged in sweet song, squirrels are rummaging the dry earth for seeds. Winter has made a few brisk sweeps through bare bud-clustered tree limbs, but at long last, her days are numbered. The seasons are faithful, changing guard, again and again. At least for today while the sun is shining, there is every reason for hope. And hope I do. When doubt niggles its way into my thoughts I have spring’s sweet awakening to set me aright. Seasons. Life is a series of seasons, coming and going, ebbing and flowing. We cannot stop the tides, and honestly, why would we ever want to.
Have a lovely week. Spring is coming…spring is here!
Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 24 March 2019
there are signs
they’re back again
lovers sighing,
you might not believe it,
fragile blossoms
north meets south, daylight
bird trills and honey bee hums
life
vernal blooms wafting on air
of plenty, one cannot quench the urge to fill
everyday i learn something new and have more questions
to hear the birds singing

A ReVerse poem is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time. I use it as a review of the previous week.

I’ve bookmarked this so I can try my hand at ReVerse–you always share such great forms. One of my neighbors has a hyacinth outside his door (blue/purple, gorgeous)…since he’s never there, I’m so tempted to steal it…but I can’t really justify “sin” by saying “he’s not bothering to enjoy it!” 🙂

Using titles was an interesting twist. Were they sequential, as in used in the order of the published piece? I think you have a new form of your own here. 😊

Ohhh, I got it wrong then–not supposed to use titles, but rather a line from each poem, as you did… I did write them in chronological order, though 🙂

No worries. Like I said, you fashioned your very own new form. The idea of a ReVerse is to capture a favorite line from each work to produce a running stream of thoughts from the past week. I know…I’m a bit out there! 😄

I was thinking that it would take me forever to decide which line to use from each of the posts…and I just didn’t have that much time, haha 🙂 If you’re “a bit out there”, it seems a fascinating and creative place to be, and I enjoy your company. I just felt bad that I couldn’t follow directions well…

I enjoy chatting with you. I was worried I’d offended you. I always have a favorite line…maybe that’s just me. So it makes it easy. I have had longer reverse poems when I was writing more. I understand. 😉

Oh no no no, not offended at all! 🙂 I greatly respect you and your vast creativity…and felt like an idiot that couldn’t manage to get the instructions right 🙂 I think the solution would be for me to choose fewer posts–then find a line and proceed in order…this might get me closer to honoring your form ❤
