• Poetry Posse – “The Hellebores’ Herald” – March 21, ’10

  Cinna’s Challenge: My theme is nature. Spring has rung in today. Although, I look through my window and see huge snowflakes here in Michigan. I ask that you bring me something of spring to lighten the heavy burden of snow. I ask for the springs of new growth.  Please take a moment if you will and write a poem for us this week. Your participation is appreciated. Thank you, Cinna. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~  The Hellebore’s Herald The hellebores opened on the 20th of March,The vernal equinox.They raised themselves up in a gentle archWhich was never quite enough to lift their faces to the glowing sun.  They seemed almost apologetic, heads bowedTo the ground,As if ashamed to be too exuberantly proudOr boastful at being the first to greet the season of life reborn.   They are content to appear quietly subdued,Understated.Even their colouring is neither loud nor rude,But a gentle green which is somehow fitting to herald in the flowers of Spring.    To visit the Posse, click here.
