Exceptional
slate of blue
a feeding upon
the fastidiousness
of sky
a promise held
in abeyance
as winter blooms
and dreams
lie buried
along with grubs
to await the thaw

Nature is wonderful and you have narrated the color blue well with the sentiments of man.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
Thank you Ruchira!
DeleteThere is always a crocus in the snow as a promise
ReplyDeletefirst, great use of words...fastidiousness and abeyance....very cool...and sometimes the dreams must lie falor, so the fields can bear fruit again...you know...smiles..it will thaw
ReplyDeleteSo true Brian--smiles!
DeleteBeautiful phrasings....especially in stanzas 3 and 4. And yes, I think sometimes dreams are buried beneath the snow, but thankfully they come to life again in spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mary!!
DeleteI love your poetry and I see my good friend Icy was here.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy!! Thank you so much for visiting!!
DeleteThe promise is like a blanket that gives dreams, seeds, roots, grubs the rest they need to wake strong. You say this so beautifully and honor it.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Thank you!
Deleteit's a good thing when dreams finally start thawing...and hopefully soon blossom in the most beautiful colors...
