" My eyes open with a burst of stars;
magic drips from my fingertips.
Flora spreads quick and far;
the mighty waves slow down to gentle drips.
Grass blooms with every sweep of my feet;
my dance quells the raging heat .
I rise at dawn, and the Earth smiles.
Wherever I go, they call me
Spring's Delight. "
~Shruti Pandey 2024
Last year, I had done some online work for Miss Ross. In exchange, she gave me access to a sketchbook and my choice of several drawings. You’ve seen these ones already:
I had seen this one and it really struck me as the Essence of Spring, but considering it was the dead of winter, it wasn’t the right time for it. But now it is May. The trees are leafing out. The sun is shining (when it’s not raining 🙂 ). The black flies are swarming, hahahaa. So I decided it was time. I wanted this to be a bit different, so I sent a sample to Shruti and asked her to compose a poem based on her impressions of the drawing. I was very pleased with the results. I like spring time a lot. I enjoy seeing the color coming back, the sun shining strongly, the warmth returning. While it is not my favorite season, I think it is the one I need the most.
Can you believe it, two poetry posts in a month? I feel very accomplished, like I’m a Real Blogger™️ now 😀 Next thing you know, I’ll be wearing a little black beret, sipping a teen weeny cup of over priced coffee at some cafe and writing in my journal about how terrible life is and the misery of existence itself. How wonderful. It must be spring time!
