Spring, the New Season
Clouds are riding highway up
in the sky
I feel that spring is around
the corner
And that warmer temperatures
are nigh
Buds will soon bloom
The sun appears earlier at
daybreak
I’ll soon hear the first
cuckoo a calling
As the woodland and their
flowers awake
Fields a flower
It is the most beautiful of
seasons
It feels like the dawning of
a new year
That we all have so many good
reasons
Goodbye to gloom
Off we go out to walk o’er
hill and dale
Rambling along the roads and
byways with
The sun on our backs and wind
in our sail
Beware shower

Dear George,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your intimations of spring, living as I do, in Illinois, a state known for prairies, wind, and snow.
Thank you!
Michael
Thank you Michael for your prompt reply I'm pleased you like my poem it is actually a Triplets 136 style poem, I will set out below the style if anyone wishes to give it a go!
Delete*Triplets #136 Created by Dee Dawn. Has 4 stanzas of Triplets
that count 10 syllables each then a solo 4th line that counts 4
Rhyme is axa, b, cxc, d, exe, b, fxf, d ( X means no rhyme)

keep up the good work at Karen's side you're doing a fine job

Dear George,
DeleteI thought I noticed a pattern particularly with the 4-count stanza-ending line. The form Triplets #136 is new to me, so I am grateful to receive this additional teaching.
Blessings,
Michael
Dee is Welsh and posts on The Poets and Writers Alliance where she introduced us to this style a few months ago I'm pleased you like her creation Michael!

George,
ReplyDeleteYes. I can't wait till Spring gets here, too. Although Autumn is my favorite season, your spring-lined poem put me in a bit of a anxiously-awaiting mood. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!

I like Autumn also Maurice but it is the precusor to winter so I much prefer spring as summer is by then just around the corner
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you enjoyed the poem!

Dear George I enjoyed "Spring, the New Season".
ReplyDeleteRefreshing English style write. I like the two Rhyming
lines and end line of each four line stanza. My wife
is a fine English woman so I have been to England
twice and am about to go there again for another
visit. I love your Poetry. Tatty bye.
