who is this in the mirror...
I see her
slowly waking from a long lazy stupor,
she sheds layer after layer
of drab woolen garments
opening herself to the fecund promise of September
casting off the last vestiges of solemn sobriety
expectation sun-light gold in her eyes, she steps
into lace and silks - colored freesia, marigold and sky blue
her eyes delight in the fertile vista that is Spring
She is me, I am her - coiled, eager.

This is not written to the Potluck theme this week. But, just maybe it might fit with a little imagination.
Happy Monday Potluck to all. :))
Love,
Eaton

'fecund promise of September' - yessir. This is a cut above much of what I read, and I read one helluva lot of amateur poetry on a daily basis. I salute you.

fecund is a word seldom used- lovely piece..
beautiful - love the playful imagery around spring's arrival, especially her stepping
into lace and silks - colored freesia, marigold and sky blue
your poem awakens the spring in me, although we're just into fall... thank you
have fun, friend.
I so appreciate your support.
lovely image you paint with your words! :) Happy Potluck to you!:D
My Potluck Poem
The effect of the silken colors freesia, marigold and sky blue being donned after dull woolen greys and browns made this a stunning piece. Gorgeous poem!

Beautifully done, vividly picturised Eaton. I loved the last line... a coiled energy ready to spring upon the nature.. Natural... thanks for sharing...
