Green shoots push through mother earth to start

Buds ready to survive

Winter.

kept their seedlings safe in their hearts

In preparation for

Spring.

Pink honeysuckle blossoms breathe

shares the scent with joyful

Summer.

Butterflies and bees take joy in love

Pollen soars and lifts our

song.

  4. Diana — I enjoyed the quiet unfolding here, especially “Pink honeysuckle blossoms breathe.” That image feels vivid to me; I can almost catch the scent as the poem turns toward summer.

    Just a gentle note: the W³ prompt was a double tetractys, and the form you used is lovely but different from the one the prompt invited. If you feel like trying a double tetractys as well, I’d be glad to see it! ❤
