awakening from a long deep sleep called winter:
PerhapsHave you ever
heard a word
spoken in such a tone
that the sound
defined beautifully
perfectly
the essence
of the word
it is rare
yet oh so possible
perhaps this is how
words were meant to be spoken
heard a word
spoken in such a tone
that the sound
defined beautifully
perfectly
the essence
of the word
it is rare
yet oh so possible
perhaps this is how
words were meant to be spoken

nice, I can think of many words that can do that, and it's even more wonderful when they are sung
ReplyDeleteAh, so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes.
I have.
Beautifully written.
No maybes here; just an unequivocal yes, oh yes. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am continually amazed by the animals, vegetables and minerals you come across in your travels.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful frame.
ReplyDeleteSigns of the upcoming summer and the middle of the spring.
Great colors!
I think I have. Lichens and green to do beautifully symbolise "la renaissance du printemps". Wonderful photo and words. (Side note: I have created that account :-), all I need now is to find some more time to browse and decide. Believe me, that's going to be the hardest!)
ReplyDeleteYes, you have said it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYes, perhaps, indeed!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Tammie. It reminds me of how to speak to our children, there are many, many times more critical words spoken to them than kind words of praise.
ReplyDelete..
[You know that I am absent and writing this from the hotel lobby in Barcelona. I was checking my blog and wanted to see who you were. You have a nice blog. :-)]
..
Beautifully said! And I love your photo too!

ReplyDeleteWonderful thought!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I don't think I've ever seen this before.
ReplyDeleteI think this is so! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. It's the stuff Hummingbird nests are lined with, and I long for the Hummers to return once again.

This is really great; two little beings, dressed in their April finest, courting one another at a Spring ball.
ReplyDeleteI can’t think of a better, or more original, photo illustrating the beauty and wonder of Spring.
Bravo, Tammie!

ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know which is more beautiful -- your words or your photo. Thanks for both.

ReplyDelete..what a wonderful poem..many thanks for sharing this ..
ReplyDeleteExquisite photo. Your words sing the story of all times. Wonderful, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love words whose pronunciation signal meaning. Children love this aspect of language, too. Tammie, what is the vine in the photo? Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe connection between the possibilities for that branch and the word perhaps are uncanny.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! I got myself a new camera and the sun is shining. I feel inspired to go out and try to find spring!
ReplyDeleteOh Tammie - what an amazing image that is! To me, it captures all the vital phases of life. :)
ReplyDeleteWords spoken with a loving voice are music. I love the sound of smiles.

Hi Tammie--
ReplyDeleteYes...and we have to be pretty still and non-chattery to really hear those 'real' words, yes?
Loved this!!
Oh, wow! To stop and appreciate this tiny, tiny piece of the world and revere it for all its beauty -- aaaah. Amazing photo, and what a beautiful poem, too.
ReplyDeleteThose budding shoots look fabulous. The DOF is used very well in this shot
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful image this poem evokes~ and what a beautiful photo you included. Ah yes...spring...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lichen! And lovely poem!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by as well as for your wonderful and fun comments. I so enjoy what you have to say!
A couple of you have asked about the photo; it is a Western Larch or Tamarack Tree. Those little green things are needles that are just beginning to make their appearance. In a while they will look very much like a pine tree of sorts. It looses it's needles in the fall after turning wonderful golden shades and making a mess of everything (I don't seem to mind though).
I love how a poem can be interpreted so many ways!I know where the inspiration for this poem came, and yet from your comments I see it has brought so many different views. It is as though all my blog friends have transformed this poem for me. Thank you for this.
Be well.
Tammie
Now that is a great shot. And a wonderful poem.
ReplyDeleteSo true, I can think of several that I like to say, just for the sound. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and powerful words. Thank you for sharing both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture :-)
