Glorious spring induced fervor
Joyful light fills the observer
Pink tufted blooms of first cherry blossoms
Color supersedes scenes of gray
Driving the winter blues away
Unwinding furled fronds like fiddlehead ferns
Early sunrise finds mornings bright
Eager to start the day off right
A twittering of birds inspire promise
Colleen’s 24 Seasons Poetry Challenge No. 29, Part II – Use one kigo phrase in each of your three poems in whatever order you’d like:
- #1: “first cherry blossoms”
- #2: “fiddlehead ferns”
- #3: “twittering of birds”
I chose a Tripadi syllabic form on the theme of joy as proposed by Val’s Looking at Poems Around the World. The form is “from the Bengali region written in tercets (3 line stanzas). There is no stated limit to the number of stanzas. Each tercet has a strict syllable count of 8/8/10 and a rhyme scheme of a/a/x where x is an unrhymed line.”

Form poems are so hard to write especially where there is a rhyme requirement. They often sound stilted, but yours didn’t at all. It’s lovely and makes me smile.
