contentment is green

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 🙂

shadows of leaves
cover the open holes
her flute forgotten (© Jane Reichhold)
she dances with woodland nymphs
notes floating on music of trees

in haiku series Tags: ducks, geese, quail, spring
paddling of ducks
mallard hatchlings learn to swim
fresh pack of quackers
plump covey of quail
rippling waves of prairie grass
breast speckled feathers
homing honks echo
a skein of canada geese
unravels the sky
Linking to dVerse poetics prompt…

God covers me
with his gentle hand
like a warm coat
in winter winds.
He covers me
with his wide mercy
like a big umbrella
in spring downpour.
He covers me
with his tender love
like a bridal tent
in summer sun.
He covers me
with his life’s blood
like a full pardon
in fall starkness.
He covers me
with his eternal grace
like a safe shelter
in all seasons.
“We live under an umbrella of goodness and mercy.” (Pastor T. on Psalm 23)
“I am my beloved’s and he is mine…his banner over me is love.” (Song of Songs)
