Delicate Spring poem. Officially we have Spring now, but the temperatures are mostly above 30 grades and the streets are strewn with leaves.

Loved the poem. Line before last. Shouldn´t it be "cheek" instead of "check"?

Enjoyed the poem. You have posted several interesting poems from users of all poetry. Though I can't help associating these dark forms with missiles and drones.

"Green and blue". "Green and blue" by Lesbia Harford

Enjoyed very much. From her bio linked on the same page: "her poetry did not follow the actions of her activism, the partial reason for this was that she felt that ?poetry and fiction should not be consciously propagandised? and secondly that because the majority of her work did not resemble the bush worker ballad or satirical feel of much that was published." :)
