spring is a girl

blossoms & chain link


Spring,
you little flirt.
Twirling petal skirts
unfurling tender greens
baby pinks curling.

Playing coy,
you peep over your shoulder
to see if I am looking.

  3. I love it! Did you write that?

    I have the perfect book for you to publish. . . a literature meets visual arts book with your photography combined with your poetry and prose.

    BTW: what kind of camera do you have?

  4. heather - me too!! the weather has not been permitting here lately, but i can't wait to go out in my new orange skirt, which is perfect for dancing & twirling.

    terri - thank you, friend. i did write the little poem; i've edited the post now to reflect that.

    and i'm not sure what to say about seeing things. i guess when you're sitting as still as we are, it's easier to pay attention to the details. ;o)

    rebecca - i did write that! and i love your book idea!! ever since i first read your comment, i've been dreaming up in my head what that book might look like ... and i love it!!

    thanks for the idea. ;o)

  6. christianne - glad to hear it makes you smile! spring certainly is playing coy around here; she keeps teasing us!!

    oh & rebecca, i nearly forgot:
    this is my camera

    i can't believe some of the shots i get with a little point & shoot. this is my second HP camera & i've got nothing but good things to say about them.
