It’s 35 degrees this morning where I live in Northern Arizona – too cold for April! In fact, this has been the coldest April I can remember. I’m thrilled to share that my poem, “Springtime,” has been published today on Gobblers & Masticadores. Thank you, Manuela Timofte, for publishing it! The poem addresses how winter lingers on while Spring tries to settle in. Please visit Masticadores and show them your support.

Springtime

by Dawn Pisturino

Springtime struggles to survive

The clasping arms of winter,

Stirring up the honey-hive

And bringing forth the flower.

 

She hastens to restore the sun:

The melting snows recede;

And when the sap begins to run,

The worm returns to feed. . .

“Springtime” is included in my new poetry collection, Ariel’s Song: Published Poems, 1987 – 2023. It was originally published in the World Poetry Anthology (1987) and the Best New Poets of 1988 anthology.
