Spring Melancholy by Maureen Shaughnessy

spring melancholy

my muse …

she hides in a forest
under layers of
leaves,
leftover
from winter

not so sure
she wants
to emerge,
yet
compelled

to awaken
by the bright
singing of
sparrow
and siskin

and roots
sucking water
expounding on
spring’s
insufferable
cheerfulness

Truly Awesome
I wish I had more words because your poetry and art speak so many to me – yet I can only look and feel – I am without words

I love it, and it speaks to this cusp time of year so eloquently.
