Happy Spring! Reading this beautifully descriptive poem, I could SEE all the things while reading it!

Yay! Poetry! I love when you share poetry. :-)

One of my favorite poets is Billy Collins. One of my favorite books of poetry is his book Picnic, Lightning. As a kind of intro or forward to this book of poems Billy shares

"We spend our life trying to bring together in the same instant a ray of sunshine and a free bench."

-Beckett, Texts for Nothing.

and then, as an intro or forward to the first poem of the collection (A Portrait of the Reader with a Bowl of Cereal) he shares

" A poet .... never speaks directly, as to someone at the breakfast table." - Yeats.

Your poems also put me in this frame of mind. :-)

Lovely, lovely, lovely.
