Greetings, Poets! We have finally entered spring, and I must say I am not unhappy to leave the season of winter behind.  Spring is always such an optimistic season, I think, as things begin to green up again.

Today we have Poppy to thank for more wonderful pictures.  She chose the theme of "serene aquamarine" this week.


Be sure to check out "I Wish I'd Written This" this week. Rosemary is a bit under the weather so Sherry did the feature.   She shared the poem "Being a Person" by William Stafford & included some details about his life as well.  (Scroll back one article.)Get well, Rosemary.

Susan, for this week's Midweek Motif, will have us write about "cherry blossoms." Do you see them in your area?

I am still looking for photographs from your part of the world.  Let me know if you have some!

Share a poem with us below by linking it using Mr.Linky, and visit others who also link.  Enjoy!

    Poppy, the photos are stunning. I visited Crete many years ago and your pictures make me think it is still quite pristine.

    Mary,

    Just made it through the Pantry door, once again. My poem connects with Susan's prompt at MidWeek Motif and 'Captivity.'..I missed that link, I think...
    A Happy Week to all, just ahead of Easter and pehaps, springtime. Clocks moved forward in UK at the weekend; spring is still slow...
