Monday blogging time. Let’s begin with a little bit of research and see where it leads…
Calliope - muse of epic poetry Euterpe - muse of lyric poetry - rejoicing well; delight; giver of delight, to ancient poets Terpsichore - terpsichorean melody - patron of lyric poetry April - National Poetry month Aprilis - Latin aperire - to open, as a flower in spring
The clouds of my valley do their work today
Bumping across a sky so gray,
Dripping and dropping some love each hour
Sending new life to my backyard bower.
My linden and beech from winter are waking,
Willow and crabapple buds are breaking
Into new life while forsythia lifts yellowing
Blooms as springtime gifts.
A calliope of blossoms, nature’s gift for me
When sunrays write backyard poetry.
And it’s April.
I’m sure Carol can find a picture or two for this blog post. Time for me and Cleo to head outside.
