it is heartening
to see the spirited young
rally for justice
but we are jaded, hoping
reality doesn’t win
they are dazzling
reminding us of ourselves
before life happened

For Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms of the words renew: hearten, rally and fresh: young, spirited, dazzling.
grey clouds descend again
bleak shrouds of frozen rain

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge…#6 in the series. 🙂
I am lonely for
spring; sweet flowery
breezes, warm rain,
roses, daffodils,
wild blankets of green…
how my soul longs
for beautiful eden’s seed

a sun too bright to view

Florette #5 for Jane Dougherty’s daily. 😎
Sometimes I have no words. Today is one of those days when the sum total of the past week says it all and all I can say…all that needs to be said is…
“This…”
Have a lovely week! ❤️
it is too soon for spring
beating ever faintly in syncopation with the rain
listen to the wind
we never woulda guessed…
winter’s snap, an early spring denies
how do you do it, straight-faced,
wisdom’s an uncommon thing
daring us to believe
rain-sopped, soggy grey
out of this World
clouds race on tempest streams
you know, we should talk
some say ‘twas the egg
even saccharine infused
dreams give way to longing
eden must have been beautiful
life goes on
to those who linger
believe…but remember

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.
