Until Nature's Silence Breaks...

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
