if i was the wind i would breathe through you murmuring sweet poetry and gently toss your hair only to hear you sigh
if i was the rain I would sweeten your garden with lovely wetness only to see you grow wild and verdant, glistening in the sun
if i was the earth brown and fertile beneath you i would make a soft bed of thick moss in the cool dark so you can rest your soul when this world is too much
if i was the sun i would blanket you in warmth, in pure love, from dawn to dusk and even through the night, the moon shining bright
in wind and rain, earth and fiery sun, always know that i am here gently loving you with all that i am
breezes that smell of musk and life simmering just below the loam
wet
air that makes me wish i’d worn less today my skin sweating from the heat, my core on fire with fever

Another Cadae. I love this poetry form! The weather wtoday is quite balmy. A calm before a storm heading our way. As I type hornets that have roused from their boroughs are swirling around me with their incessant buzzing. I’m sure they are just as happy as me that spring is ever near, but they add a bit of drama to my attempt to soak in the sun and rest for a spell. 🙄
trembles softly there in the wings even as frost blankets the loam
dance
darling daffodils, peepers and bluebirds sing your happy songs winter’s end is near and spring won’t be long

As busy as I have been this year with work and caretaking, I could not let Pi Day pass without giving a new Pi inspired poetry form a go! It’s called a Cadae and incorporates the first 5 digits (3.1415). See the details below:
There are two styles of Cadae. (I chose the second style for today.)
1. strophic, written in 5 strophes of fixed but varied length. S1 - 3 lines S2 - 1 line S3 - 4 lines S4 - 1 line S5 - 5 lines
2. Incorporating a syllabic element to the strophes in style #1. S1 - 3 lines with 3 syllables per line S2 - 1 line with 1 syllable in the line S3 - 4 lines with 4 syllables per line S4 - 1 line with 1 syllable in the line S5 - 5 Lines with 5 syllables per line
I know they’re there the golden hillside the mountain vista the endless blue sky the sun my memory serves me well.. they’re there but for today heaven enfolds me in her cool, damp cocoon to savor the moment to breathe, to sigh to notice the trees for the forest
