This is Where Spring Begins – Haru Ga Hajimaru
In the heat of that particular moment,
he recalled, how he had once
traced her name, with the warm pad
of his index finger, in the thin
film of ice, that had formed overnight
on the inside of their shared
bedroom window .. And then, how she
had turned into him, all smiley
and snug before whispering haru ga hajimaru ..

Ivvocatative, sensual and beautiful, love this one
Many serious thank you's PL .. very muchly appreciated if you don't mind me saying so .. Neville
You are very welcome
Once again Neville you invoke your mastery of symbolism and metaphor to enchant a poem. This one even feels oriental before one reaches the line. You have taken past and present, warm and cold, the foggy aspect of what is normally clear glass, ice and spring and tied them into a relationship with implied sensuality. A lovely magic trick conjuring up many a fanciful vision. Lovely
Thank you BIG TIME .. I owe ya & truly .. Neville
I whisper Hari Kiri - or summat like that, the Japanese thing, being married to KP, and that's a fact! (is it? lol).
You are a rotter sir & I hope she gives you rot for the moment you get back home to your hutch ..
Ooh! On Hina Matsuri no less...! Exquisite and seductive, rendered charmingly with gorgeous imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you for sharing!
Dōmo arigatō, Misshī .. Watashi no yūjin ni totemo kansha shite imasu .. Nebiru 😉👍
Love this and the formatting...brilliant. The opening is the title. Then the poem leads back to the opening. Love it! An easy fave for me, my friend. Well done! 🌹👏
Many thanks my fine literary & very generous friend .. Neville
You are most welcome.
Love that image. His index finger tracing her name through a film of thin ice on window glass. There are contrasts here between cold and heat, which work so well. Plenty of symbolism and spring is a time for new beginnings and growth. A perfectly lovely poem Neville.
Thanks Cassie, I am truly glad you stopped by .. Neville
Enjoy your life Neville, Spring brings joy.
Andy
Don't get me wrong, I know that I am a very lucky man and am more often content than ever miserable .. but thank you for your concern .. Neville 🍷👍
