We’re greening all over again
bulbs, birds unceasing, even dogs
having turned the corner on winter, with the trees
I round the trail’s corner, begin
to notice birds in the four-eyed tree, frogs
singing greenly in the reeds, all nature plain-meaning:
bend your head to the tree-sigh of still north-rooted breeze
catch the corner, quick, of golden sun in all this greening
My first-ever san san for NaPoWriMo Day 14.
I love this. There’s such a feeling–the tree sigh.
I’m going to try this form at some point–just couldn’t wrap my head around it today.

The form was pretty daunting first thing in the morning–it took me a nice long walk and some sunshine seeping into the brain before I could take a crack at it. 🙂 I do like these forms with repetitions built in, though. Makes kind of a dreamy quality, I think.

I love this, especially the north wind on the edge of it all – exactly how it sounds and feels sitting here in the sun, with a cool breeze at my back. Beautiful form – I’d never heard of it before and I do want to try it but I’m feeling very un-poetic today.

Strangely, when I am feeling at a loss, I like to have the frame of a form. As long as I can come up with a topic. I tend to resort to nature a lot. Ha.
