Melt into Spring
Melting into spring is
to melt into rosy flowers and
bright blue skies, drifting
along on clouds… –
To become one with the sound of
wind chimes, a hidden mocking bird
and the coo of doves.
To melt into spring is to melt
into love.

Oh I love the though of becoming one with sound of windchimes… wonderful… many great spring poems today.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 15:52:22
I think we are all more than ready for spring. I am just getting ready to read your poem!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 17:21:29
You had me at “melt”, Toni! Becoming one with spring is a joyous undertaking.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:20:36
It is indeed! I was tempted to scrape my fiddle into the main theme of Ode to Joy but settled for watching the clouds drift in the sky.

I love melting into spring and I can’t wait to hear the sounds of wind chimes and coo of doves ~ Good to see you back Toni ~

Lovely, all this poetry about spring is making me wistful, it is very cold with lots of snow where I live.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:18:11
Well, I wish I could send some your way! BEst I can do is this pic of my flowering quince and the blue sky. I think it will be light snow tonight, LOL….

A great line about that hidden mocking bird. Mysterious and evocative.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:17:20
I stood watching him inside the bush moving about and hearing him but he managed to keep from totally esposing himself. He is one of the more established ones. I whisled the opening notes to the XFiles theme and after a few times, he mocked…what fun!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 18:35:35
Of course we are ahead of you as far as seaons…the mockingbirds, doves and finches rule…and the ducks are nesting.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:15:50
Spring began early here and then backed away….but has decided to return. Oh Joy!!!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 18:42:26
Beautiful. I love your line breaks and rhythm, especially toward the end.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:15:04
Than you so very much!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 18:54:53
So light and airy, just like a beautiful Spring day! It is sunny, windy, and warm here, and my wind chimes are tinkling, and the doves are in love! 🙂 Love your poem!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:14:44
Thank you! The wind chimes make me want to dance up into the sky. Beautiful here as well. 🙂
Mar 21, 2016 @ 20:36:32
so much this:
“melt into rosy flowers and
bright blue skies”
yes, please. gorgeous.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:13:09
It is shaping into a beautiful spring here. At last, at long last.
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:11:00
Thank you. It was a truly melty day….the cardinals kept chirping their “here! right here right here!” and the mockingbirds kept copying them….many smiles at them.
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:00:42
All things pleasant about spring…wonderful!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 21:12:12
And it seems spring is finally here!
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:09:42
Warmth w/o mosquitos – perfection!
Mar 21, 2016 @ 22:35:51
a perfect longing for spring
Mar 22, 2016 @ 01:25:15
uplifting!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 03:48:21
You’ve put me in a melting mood. Lovely.
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:07:49
This kind of weather along with birds and flowers would melt anyone!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 07:19:00
Melting into Spring!! Love this! also, equating spring with love was divine!
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:06:36
Well, you know that saying – in the spring a young (or any age) man’s fancy turns to love….and the same is true for us women as well.
Mar 26, 2016 @ 06:38:44
That’s for sure!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 08:25:27
Lovely – and the conclusion is perfect.
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:05:38
Thank you!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 08:52:07
Love the shift from your opening line to your concluding one. Takes the reader full circle.
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:05:16
Thank you!

It amazes me how much each of us has packed into 44 words. This piece is both stunning & evocative. Spring is all rainfall here in NW WA state, but the plants are lapping it up (not so for my poor basement–the sump pumps are busy). I now am going out to find some new wind chimes for our covered deck.
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:04:55
New wind chimes seem like just what is needed. I bought a new set myself – longer, bigger brass tubes for a deeper sound….and of course, the tinkly kind that always to me sound like children laughing.
Mar 22, 2016 @ 11:12:33
Chimes and mocking birds… sigh. Lovely images
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:03:30
Thank you. And lovely sounds!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 12:44:52
Hope you are doing well! I am glad it is spring and cannot wait for summer!
Mar 22, 2016 @ 12:48:30
Hi! Well and hope you and yours are too. I am doing grilled chicken for Easter and using the wonderful Chiavettas. Every time I use it, I think of you and thank you for introducing and send a prayer your way :-). Happy Spring!
Mar 28, 2016 @ 11:12:56
I think of you often – though I am not blogging as much. Prayers are always appreciated! Many blessings to you and your family! Happy Spring!
Mar 28, 2016 @ 21:27:25
I am mainly now posting a true love of mine – poetry. Happy spring – blessed Easter!
Mar 23, 2016 @ 07:45:34
What a lovely idea; to melt into love. 🙂
Mar 25, 2016 @ 20:03:00
and the blue sky and flowers and birds…. 🙂
