This is beautiful, Rich. Very well done. Thank you! 😉
Thank you for the generous compliment 🙂
Nicely done, Rich. You blend the sense of energy and movement of emerging growth and the horses seamlessly with the sense of peace and tranquility of nature which can renew us so effectively inside.
Thank you! I like the way you summed it up 🙂
Love it, Rich! Absolutely love it.
Beautiful, beautiful poem. I can smell those bluebonnets!
Thank you my friend. You made my day!!!
Beautiful! Rejoicing with you, Rich, in the radiant renewal of Spring!!!
Texas in the spring is unmatched in beauty!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Caroline and the other Christian writer ‘worldsbeforethedoor’. Thank you!
Rich, I sent this on to a published poetry writer from Boston. I so respect her, I wanted to share your beautiful work. If I were blind and had this read to me I could see Spring time in Texas. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Love, Nancy
Your poem is even lovelier than the photos—which says a lot! I particularly like your first line, and this: “Simple thrills of precious life.” I could see that as a book title. 😉
Note to Nancy and August – thank you for your encouraging words. We are experiencing some of the most beautiful spring weather in a very long time. It is refreshing after the record heat and drought of last summer. I’m glad you have been touched 🙂
Lovely poem, Rich! I like the photos, too. Did you take the bottom one yourself?
Pleased to hear you enjoyed it. Yes I took the bottom photo. I’ll replace the bluebonnet photo as soon as I can find a field of them in bloom.
Most of my blog photos are original. Thank you.
Stirs my soul, I can feel the wind in my hair, How long is it to Texas?, to experience that?
Elaine, it will be here as long as you long to enjoy its beauty. It is no further for you than a flight from Puget Sound to the rolling hills, grassy prairies or cross-timbers of Texas. Come visit sometime 🙂
Wonderful, spirited imagery, Rich. It rivals Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”. 🙂
Thank you Terre, Wordsworth and his fellow Lake District poets are among my favs!
Beautiful sensory descriptions. I can smell them.
Thank you, Eva.
I agree, spring is all about the plethora of pleasant sensations being taken in through all our senses.
