Not a Florette but an Essence Poem #8

iced fury, wintry rush,
snow flurried, spring’s first blush

Photo taken on my way to work today, for Jane Dougherty’s daily poetry challenge, an Essence poem (not a florette, which is actually a longer form.) Henceforth, March’s daily poems will be labeled Essence poems. And they are still as challenging as ever! 😊


Florette #7

wasted hours can’t be seized
time devoured ne’er retrieved

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge.


Persistence

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

~kat

For Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge using synonyms of the words renew: hearten, rally and fresh: young, spirited, dazzling.


Florette #6

grey clouds descend again
bleak shrouds of frozen rain

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Florette Challenge…#6 in the series. 🙂


Monday Magnets

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
