Spring boutonnieres...

SpRinG is the subject today at dversepoets.com.com where Claudia leads us to write about any aspect of it our heart desires.

.. spring morning dew
imbues violet hyacinth petals,
 yielding their marrow's oils -

 pats of pigment, hint of black,

 tincture begging to be lifted
by an artist's new soft brush
to paint on canvas,
exuding potent perfume 

 ... pink-veined white Rhodies
slumber,
awaiting fog's parting by
noonday rays of light,
brighter today than yesterday - 

we breathe in earth's raw aromas,
 rake soil's dark history,

expressing
air in, out again

... cherry trees hail pink snow,
 dogwood trees just know
the miracle of life,
intimated season after season -
taking me back to

renaissance pastoral scenes
gleaned from volcanic born
cadmium yellow, lapis blue,
crimson,
illuminated by
a Vermeer-like glaze

Spring unveils
aesthetically -
seeds cast on breezes,
carried high where
swallows wing;
paths of fallen birch twigs,
wet leaves,
  tones of nature's achromatic blend;
Streams flow outwardly
 singing their premiere,
 nurturing future ivory, red, pink
