The Web Poetry Corner - Ronald G. Auguste - SPRING SONG

SPRING SONG

by

Ronald G. Auguste

(For Byron, my son)

I danced down many a street,
By the pale Spring beguiled,
And none that I did greet
Replied.

Some of them looked at me
As if I were insane,
While others gawked, simply
Inane.

The nearest to a word
Came from the birds that sing!
Good Lord! Hadn't folks heard
'Twas Spring?

What frosts of reticence
Still froze their cruel lips,
Stifling eloquence
And quips?

Joy in the silent Spring
Took me to dizzy heights,
My glad eye fashioning
Delights

Round every budding leaf
And blade of glinting grass!
My thoughts whirling from grief
En masse.

O how can I forget
How slow the sweet day waned --
Was it for my regret
It rained?

For as I swirled away
Homeward in fading light,
The Spring rain seemed to say:

"Goodnight!"

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Long Ago
