I think that's a great prompt, which is why my poem isn't really about any of those things. Well, it's sort of about bursting and exploding. Anyway, after you've read my poem go to her site to read some other fabulous poems!
Spring
The caramel
macchiato
of winter
gives way to a
fizzy green goddess
health drink.
I open my eyes
and my arms wide,
breathing deeply
of this verdant
nourishment.
I can feel my chest
expand with joy
and something else –
something that is
not quite joy –
something I can
no longer contain…
Ahhh Chooo!
Ah Spring!

| Yes, I took this picture of myself mid-sneeze. It's VERY hard to do. Just try it. And don't mock me! |
I'd rather have the allergens as opposed to viral particles setting up shop.
ReplyDeleteAh-choo right back atcha.
My husband feel's your pain. He suffers greatly during allergy season!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are the QUEEN of the Mid-Expression Capture of Emotion. The Queen, I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteBLESS YOU!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am having the same problems this year! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Bug, It's perfect!! The soft beauty of the pussy willow bush photo captured perfectly, set me up for a soft misty spring type poem and the sneeze blew it all away. Ah spring, indeed! Brilliant. I'll bet it is very tricky to capture yourself sneezing with a camera. I bow to KimQuiltz and Reya........ you are the Queen and bless you. =D
ReplyDeleteMy great grandfather apparently suffered 30 minute sneezing fits all his life and I do the same, though they've got more infrequent as I get older.
ReplyDeleteLove the opening lines - that's a great image!
tes souhaits, Bug! gesundheit!
