Late Spring

late spring swims softly
through the boughs
of evening shadows
the trees leaf now
unrolling green from brown
buds to blossom
forsaking their
winter whistle
and woodwind whine
for spring and summer
shaded rustle

Its an amazing piece that really captures that elusive spirit of a season. The style reads almost an extended haiku, and I like it very much. Mucho Kudos.

I like how you discuss the wind without exactly defining it. The phrase "the trees leaf now" seems a bit awkward to me though.

It's beautiful. This poem makes me think of my dad's fruit trees. The apple tree and the nectarine tree blossoms have a wonderful smell and they look so pretty in the springtime.

SIGH... Everytime I read your poetry I cannot help but think Robert Frost... Amazing... another great piece from you... There is a peaceful air to this poem that relaxes me...
