Welcome Springtime--By Erich J. Goller--United States

Welcome Springtime
(Sedoka Suite)

Drops of jeweled light
sparkling bright in the night rain
blooming flowers bursting forth

Welcoming springtime
nature spreading its beauty
roses blend in radiant row

Wildflower landscape
blossomed buds on trees unfold
fresh, sweet scent of orchard trees

Oh, rainbow promise
no matter how big dreams are
the sun rays are of pure gold

Cotton clouds of white
the hilltops rich with colors
with each wondrous growing thing

Where the lilac grows
with the rising morning sun
the songbirds brighten the day

  3. Dear Erich,

    Your imagery is beautiful and I don't think I've ever seen a Sedoka before now. I love the way each verse has a first line that sets the tone for the rest of the verse. Thank you for introducing me to this new form. I would like to give it a try as well. Unfortunately, spring will soon turn to summer. In summer's heat fewer flowers bloom where I live by the beach in Florida.

    It's wonderful that you are also pursuing a career in acting. Many creative people work in more than one form of "art."

    Thanks again for sharing this poem with us!

    Best wishes,
    Carolyn
