Revolution

Katie B.

March is birthed in eager anticipation

 And lays out as a blanket

The harsh, brittleness of winter escapes us

And the world emerges transposed

There is awakening

   Renewal

Glory to the ladybug

Carrying promise on her back

For gardenias greet with sweetness

                 Before eyes lay sight

Oaks spring to life with effervescent leaves

Of a transparent luminous, green

Days stretch out like an afternoon nap

And light takes over darkness

The daffodil in her yellow dress boasts

Of her bold, daring disposition

As milky white daisies ignite

With a yellow button taking center

Roses procure themselves

Their beauty disguising their bite

The cool crisp water quickens toes

As green frogs hustle to their buoyant lily pads

Chirps make symphony and

Bees buzz, pollinating vibrant petunias

Some days the sky cries with vengeance

Saturating all things dry and thirsty

Even children heed the call

Moving through plush, green grass

In these days, in these times

We bear witness to revolution

    This poem is most beautiful it its wording with some great lines like:
    "And roses procure themselves
    Their beauty disguising their bite"
    Your imaging sets the mood and I can almost feel it. Very nicely done Katie

      Thank you so much for your feedback. Is there anything that needs to be stronger, added, revised etc? It's for a contest.

      • sorenbarrett

        In the first stanza you might want to say lays instead of lay and speaking of daisies igniting you may wish to say daisy's centers ignite since it is the yellow that brings the thought of fire. Just suggestions

        Nothing to add, nothing to take away!

        Good story . Your story about a person embraces the changes around them.
