Flush green against the sky in early May
the mountains in their splendour undulate
towards the valley, beneath clouds of grey
from dreams of yesterday, new dreams create
The mountains in their splendour undulate
while lovers walk beneath their shadowed gaze
from dreams of yesterday new dreams create
as winter love warms into summer days
Where lovers walk beneath their shadowed gaze
and talk with birdsong, nature’s minstrelsy
so winter love warms into summer days,
rolls with all seasons to eternity
While talk and birdsong, nature’s minstrelsy
from dreams of yesterday new dreams create
roll with all seasons to eternity
as mountains in their splendour undulate

There’s something nuptial about the purity of green in spring — a yearning infinitude – that makes everything dance. A basket of such May-flowers here.
I agree, Brendan: the green seems to have sprung out very suddenly this year!
Beautiful Pantoum, Ingrid. I felt I was there, walking in the landscape.
Thank you Marion 😊

Thank you Kerfe: I wrote this as a note on my phone while travelling by bus, and deleted the original! So this version will have to stand…

How do you reblog this? I would like to feature it on Literacy and Me.
I don’t think you can reblog with the plan I’m on, but you are welcome to link back to the post. Please don’t republish the text though, as this makes it difficult for me to publish in a book later.
Gotcha!
