flash of gold
not smelted
newly molted
lilting flight
burbling song
undulation
concentrated
coruscating
cheer

Coruscating! I love how poetry expands my vocabulary. Blue and yellow combined always make me feel cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI love the cheerful image of the goldfinch!
ReplyDeleteI'm late getting mine written today, but here it is http://kaymcgriff.edublogs.org/2015/04/25/family-portrait/
Another gorgeous poem, Mary Lee! And like Ramona, I learned a new word.
ReplyDeleteAfter a morning of teaching, then five hours at the school carnival, I'm scrambling a little for poems tonight.
A RECIPE FOR CHEERFULNESS
Ingredients:
One fluttery purple iris
Two blades of green grass
Tulips- three each of palest pink, red, and yellow
Four drops of daffodil juice
A dash of lilac zest
To do:
Stir together in large bowl
Set oven to full sunshine,
bake until ingredients reach desired consistency
Best when served in a large glass
on patio or porch swing.

DeleteCarol, what a wonderful, cheery poem that is inventive. Too bad that we cannot create this drink and have instant cheerfulness. Would you consider pairing this with a photo and offering it for my online gallery, Spring's Symphony?
DeleteMary Lee, what a splendid poem that rings with coruscating cheer as you sparkle our day. I am a day late with my poem on cheerfulness but I started it yesterday and fell asleep before I could put the finishing touches on it. Please see it at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2015/04/celebrating-good-cheer.html. Thanks for bringing the good cheer today and now off to ponder zest.
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, this was a case of "just-in-time poetry" yesterday. Thanks for the much-needed smile this gave me. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, coruscating indeed! So bright!
