It's bluebonnet season . . . but that's irrelevant to this poem


Poem Artwork

 

born of April's reign
vibrant, pristine, delicate
May's sun withers her

The Texas bluebonnets do make our state look lovely when they're blooming. It's a shame Lady Bird Johnson isn't alive to see them, this year, but what a gift she gave us.

Beautiful writing, Leo. Happy Spring and Happy Easter,
Jill

I know this probably wasn't meant to have that double meaning, but instead of bluebonnets you have me thinking of a little girl... one whose pristine reign lasted from April to May...

we have them on the back 1/4 of our property near the creek, and living very near the proverbial TExas 'bluebonnet trail', they will be covering the earth near the end of march [hence we will ahve the bluebonnet festival]....oceans of nearly purple [with the odd red blanket piercing the skin]. ... silly lupines.. .my favourite thing about them is actually their leaves; all organic and nearly lacey shaped. .. like splayed fingers.. . .

Born of April's dame,
exuding intelligence,
May’s son mirrors her…

And out of death’s mud,
she protrudes through blades and blooms--
reborn in March dreams…

You got me on a roll... Good stuff. --Charlie
