I hear the beats of winter feet-
in delight they caper,
chasing one foot with the other-
shivering trees bear
the brunt of her kicking legs;
her fox-trot and cha-cha-
is she aware
forever will not last her crescendo-
I await
the dolce movement of her show
when she lights up into green-
“The poetry of earth is” never ceasing
Posted for Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Changes hosted by Susan and Sumana
Sigh .. this is incredibly exquisite, Sumana! ❤️ Indeed, ““The poetry of earth is” never ceasing.” 🙂
What a wonderful dance
Are any of us aware that forever will not last?
Ohh, you would love winter here (from the train).
Ah, yes, the poetry of the earth continues on. There is such beauty in our midst.
The poetry of earth is what keeps me going – her beauty never ceases to amaze me. A beautiful poem, my friend. I am going to read Tagore………..what I have learned of him, through you, intrigues me. I only recently learned he is a more recent poet, somehow I had thought him from the days of Rumi.
(I am still thinking about the Tagore quote at PU.)
Sherry, that quote was my translation of one of his songs. Here is the link : https://free219467.wordpress.com/2016/09/09/jhora-pata-go-fallen-leaves/
Ah ” the poetry of earth” lu v this image
Happy Wednesday. Thanks for dropping by my blog
Much💞love
Love it from title to poem. How beautiful to consider we are part of the poetry of earth. May we strive to be its blessing.
Sadly mankind treats the Earth as a charity shop and a rubbish dump at the same time; taking and destroying with no thought of the future. The planet is getting rather heated about our behaviour. I do hope we learn a lesson from this. Curiously poets do seem to be aware!
With one line you created wrapped up the entire world: ‘“The poetry of earth is” never ceasing.’ Just perfect.
That’s a Keats quote from the poem “On the Grasshopper and Cricket”. I have quoted the stanza in today’s prompt.
I enjoyed your ‘poetry of earth’ poem, Sumana; the foxtrot and cha-cha, cheered me up this morning.
I love this joyous dance!
Sumana,
The beautiful poetry of nature and with it its various facets..each a different movement:) A lovely aspect of the perfect change..
poetry of the earth – yes, beautiful indeed!
