When raindrops fall,
On petals soft,
The flowers pout,
As they do, oft

From the weight
Of fallen tears
Until the sorrow
Disappears

Then nourishes,
All who grieve,
A silent means
To give reprieve

Tis then the sun,
Again, does shine,
To dry the tears,
Of those, who pine

 

Hard to believe #NaPoWriMo is over, although truth be told, it felt like an eternity.  Congrats to all who participated this year.  Here’s to 2021!! ❤

The Butterfly and the Bird – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

Said the butterfly to the bird

“I’ve heard an amazing thing

Warmer weather is coming!”

Said the bird, “Yes, it’s spring!”

“When flowers bloom in color,

And skies turn azure blue;

It’s then you’ll hear me singing

And see more butterflies, too!”

As both admired the flowers

Happily, they shared their day

Anticipating the sunshine

That’d soon, be heading their way

 

Author’s Note:  The weather has been so dreary and cold, I needed to write something happy.  I cannot wait for warmth!  Come on spring!! ❤

A Beautiful Scene – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

A blend of delicacy and might

I bow toward the rising sun

Bending with the gentle breeze

The morn and I are one

Warmth, from every angle, breathes

As leaves turn brilliant green

My petals open in graceful dance

And I create a beautiful scene

Changing of the Season – #poetry of #spring

#poetry, Changes, dorindaduclos.com, flowers, Night Owl Poetry, poems, rebirth, spring, writing


An air settles
Upon the Earth
The subtlety
Of spring’s rebirth
That gathers round
Expands its girth
Anxious to let the breeze in

Flowers bloom
In vibrant form
Wakening now,
Tis their norm
To feel the rain,
A nurturing storm
This is their only reason

To decorate land,
In pastel hue
Add in vibrancy,
A pinch or two
Looking forward
To what else they’ll do
With the changing of the season
