Spring Poetry

Thought I would search through some of my published poetry that I have done on the subject of Spring.

This one is a full open verse poem on Spring I hope you enjoy. Also on Yahoo Contributor Network here is a haiku called Sunshine's Warm Kiss. I even did a haiku about March Madness.

On Helium I published a poem called A Soft Spring Rain. I wrote this one about a year ago.Sometimes I experiment with styles here is a Tanka called Spring Wildflowers. Yet another free verse poem called Spring has Sprung. Here is a rather recent haiku I published called Groundhog's Early Spring. Haiku writing sames to be a place I find myself recently. I like how quick they can be created, how they often just role out onto the screen. 

I know I share a lot of my other articles, but I don't share my poetry as often. It is important to me since it is where I started as a writer. 

Poetry Update

I had not posted anything on my poetry since September 4, 2011. Then again I haven't written a lot of poetry since then. Well my latest is a haiku which was suppose to be about winter. As a skier I like snow, but sometimes it might be too much. You can read that here.

I've wrote more poetry this year than I have in quite a while. I have a bunch more that I wrote in my younger years but they were kind of private. Now that I am older I write more public. Everything changes and this one is about the season Fall. You can read that here.

Then I did a quick Haiku about a rabbit you can read that here Poetry: Haiku about rabbits - by Mike Spain - Helium. I guess it is silly Haiku night as I wrote one about beavers too. Poetry: Haiku about beavers - by Mike Spain - Helium.

And since my anniversary just past let me leave with http://www.helium.com/items/2006058-villanelle-about-marriage. It is a stab at a poem in the villanelle style on marriage.I wrote this one a year ago so I am digging up something a little older.

Z to A: Poetry

In the A to Z Challenge I used poetry for P as well. I am still at it, I have some new poems I have published since the last challenge. I think they are getting better.

Old River , just to make clear I didn't redo song lyrics written by someone elese, I  just wrote a poem on the same river.

How Do You Keep The Flame Alive? It has been a sad month for some of my friends. One friend's wife died of cancer and one friend's mom died on Mother's Day. So, death was on my mind and the thoughts of keeping the flame of someone specials love after they die alive was the subject matter.

If you like my poetry I have signed up to write a couple more soon. If you don't like them, well at least I warned you.
