Spring Green

  Spring Green

Spring Green

Only for a very short time will you be
allowed to see spring green.
Only in the hard wood forest of the north
can you see and feel spring green.
Sting of the winter cold gone from the breeze
this must be natures magic
I feel honored to see.
Only large soft green buds of the giant oaks
against the blue blue forever sky.
Look with your heart for this is spring
green.
Your heart feels the promise.
If you have seen spring green you will never
forget that promise.
All of nature knows it well we humans
sometimes look with out seeing.
Look now feel the promise.
For it will soon be gone.

Mervin H. Dochterman

Beautifully expressed and as ethereal, almost, as the spring green you write about. In the far (I hope) future when most of nature's beauties are lost to us, it is poetry like this that will remind mankind of what once was.

What I take away from this is the larger metaphor of Beauty ot Truth. Both "green" and "spring" express for me the beauty of all things experienced in the present moment, the "now" that cannot be held onto except, perhaps, through Art and Love, which perhaps transcends or points past the things of the world, all of which are impermanent. In fact, I think a good poem is itself a metaphor, which yours seems to be, at least for me.

Time is like sand in the hour glass, in the beginning you don't realize how fast it is slipping away. Mervin your works are truly wonderful. Thanks, Anthony

You have a way with words and I really like you include nature in so much of your work. As I commented on another one of your poems, you could use a little bit of punctuation here or there. Other than that, I really liked this one.
