Wow again! I read this in two ways. It can be read like that. The lover who died and is waiting for Primavera to resurrect him;for his physical mate, and the lover who died for the season he loved as though it were a woman. Very well written and emotive!
Beyond that, your cover is so inviting!

Wow! This is much improved! (Not that it wasn't great before.)

"Ah, my Lady Primavera,
all Earth's creatures wait and yearn.
The grasses green, and leafy fern
they too await for your return."

^My favorite stanza^

Nice work!

Great pick up for me - now snowed in, but with faith spring will come and a better time. I sense much deeper look than this. Reminders of who I once was? Greeting of the season my friend. Janice

Many of us are familiar with the poem, "In Flanders Fields," and recognize it as a symbol of the sacrifice and loss of the first World War. As the Chaplain for my local VFW, I've handed out those paper poppies on Memorial Day, and as a schoolgirl, I memorized the poem by John McRae. But this is the first time I've read anything about the possible thoughts of one of the brave men who now sleep beneath those fields, the first... mehr anzeigen

Thanks.
I always loved poppies. When about 6 or 7 I saw my first poppy when I was in summer camp when we lived in Belgium.

You lived in Belgium? For someone like me, whose only excursions out of the United States included five or six family vacations that included parts of Canada, that sounds wonderful. I saw my first poppy in a neighbor's yard when I was 10 but that was in New York.

This was a lovely poem. I truly felt the emotion behind it, the angst and the longing that comes with waiting for someone, so much that it is like waiting through an everlasting winter for spring to finally arrive. Then again, being a winter person, I do like for the snow to stay as long as it possibly can! Fantastic job, yet again!

G'nite can be construed to mean Granite. Just for info.
