Happy Poetry Friday!
I like to ponder on about our earth everyday, so I’m beginning my celebration of Earth Day today… Happy Earth Day and National Poetry Month!
My poem EARTH DAY is a triolet. As springs a time of renewal I wanted to emphasize that feeing.
EARTH DAY
Earth’s clock sprouts life in spring
Renewing growth out of winter’s stupor
Bees, butterflies, and birds return for their seasonal fling
Earth’s clock sprouts life in spring
“Come human,” calls nature, drink from my wellspring
Ensure earth’s and everyone’s future.
Earth’s clock sprouts life in spring
Renewing growth out of winter’s stupor

One more triolet…
BONNIE’S TRIOLET
by Sarah L. Johnson
She was my Lily. Of the morning dew
She was my fragrant rhapsody in spring.
In dancing dreams in springs too few
She was my Lily of the morning dew.
