Until Nature's Silence Breaks...

April poem-a-day challenge day 9:

For today's prompt, write a breaking poem.

While we wait to go from this...

to this...

...and this!

Tulip, daisy, daffodil

Long before they bloom

Stoke anticipation’s thrill

As spring threads earth’s loom

Pansy, poppy, peony

Lupine, columbine

Lilac, orchard’s blossom tree

Wisteria vine

Woodlands wait; a silhouette

Somber purple-gray

Where the bud, not broken yet

Cradles spring’s hooray

Bronze, the bristled creekbank gleams

Like a vault that holds

Gush of blue flag-iris-streams

Plush marsh-marigolds

Expectation escalates

Hope ignites in sighs

Everybody crowds barred gates

Eager for earth’s prize

...until nature's silence breaks

And bud-belfies ring

Waiting tunes want's tender aches

With love songs for spring

While yon welkin coffers brim

With grim pelting pearls

While a wooing, wailing hymn

Dashes, drips and swirls

While a trusty glockenspiel

Winnows down the hours

Until Someone breaks the seal

And earth sings in flow’rs
