Day 27 SOL 16: Songs of Joy

Songs of Joy

Today the earth
celebrates:
birds of all colors
sing songs of joy,
buds ready to burst
rest on branches,
the sun rises
to warm the land,
the sky the bluest
of blues,
the daffodil dances,
the grass,
once brown
now the deepest of green,
abundant in
the newness of life.
Rejoice!

  1. Cathy, you poem is wonderful. By the time I got to the last line, I found myself rejoicing just like your last line bids me to. I start the study of a poem by reading it to students and then without any discussion give them a few minutes to capture the images with their colored pencils in their notebook. This morning, I wanted to grab my pencils and sketch after I read your poem. Thank you.

  4. You have a beautiful gift with words. Your words always rest beautifully in my ear. Today as I read your slice I sit between two open windows while the sunshines on my back as the birds chirp the joy of new beginnings.
