warm weather thaw
spring is winter’s changeling child

in quadrille, rhyming verse Tags: green, paradise, pastoral, sheep, spring
Earth’s new spring green
sings a theme serene
for ears and eyes keen
to creation’s pastoral scene.
On hills’ grassy sheen
fresh rain-washed clean
sheep shearer has seen
fluff-puff wool to glean.
A poets’ paradise pristine,
if you know what i mean.
For dVerse Poets “green” quadrille challenge and with my apologies to Luci Shaw 🙂

Playing with tan renga form at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai…
shadows of leaves
cover the open holes
her flute forgotten (© Jane Reichhold)
she dances with woodland nymphs
notes floating on music of trees
