Shortest Season

"Write a touch poem."


Desperately searching for a sign of Spring,
warm breeze caressing skin, hints of green.
Crocus emerged with care, recedes in last fling
of Winter's whipping winds, still reigning supreme.

In capricious nature, daffodils dare peek
on prodigious day hinting at Summer.
Tender lemon petals, please brush my cheek.
Burst of cherry blossoms, pink cloud clusters.

Suggestions of Spring are becoming bolder 
with warmer zephyrs soothing the air.
Thrumming in my heart, easing of shoulders–
could be Spring fever whispering in my ear.

Season for romance, tingling of skin,
and a lambency spreading within.
