Bacchanalia
I've walked amongst the flowers,
and felt each color was imbued
with it's own intrinsic power
to influence human moods
Pausing near the reddest roses,
painful memories will linger
Where a hidden thorn imposes
scarlet pricks upon my finger
Past the smiles from yellow daffodils
A purple lilac's scent is caught
Where hyacinths grow on the hill
in deeply planted thoughts.
Worried looks from white magnolias,
as I disturb their perfect prayer
For Springtime's bacchanalia,
and the loss of somber air
Bacchanalia

Re: Bacchanalia
Lovely to read if not experience just yet Spring is slow this year although a few brave crocuses and spindly daffodils are showing their faces beneath bare trees

Re: Bacchanalia
Hi Ivor,
The climate where I live in Upstate NY is very close to your own in the UK. Like you, we're just seeing the beginning of the daffodils, crocus, and other early
flowers just breaking ground. It's been a long rough winter here this year. I can't wait for Spring.

Re: Bacchanalia
Always a pleasure to read your poems Bags. I would call it a good beginning to the season! It's beginning to warm up in British Columbia but I tell you would I ever like to get away from the lower mainland. It's become a bloody lunatic asylum. We just don't have the infrastructure to deal with all the people who come here to live. I'd like to experience Spring...any season, even winter anywhere else but here.

You Canuckians are a hearty breed.
Something tells me you'd miss BC if you had the chance to leave. I've only been there once,..a couple years ago,.. to Vancouver. Great City. I love that Seattle to Vancouver corridor. Beautiful country. Lunatic Asylum! Howso? Personally,... the lunatics were one of my favorite parts when I visited Vancouver.
