On the south
side of our house
in a sunny spot
the snow
has melted
away from the foundation
and crocus leaves
have stuck their
noses out
of the ground.
Inside the house
I sit in the warm
glow of my
computer screen
feeding logs
of ideas
into the fire
of my poetry.

Hey Linda, I like your "no ideas but in things," approach - nicely grounded. But, my computer screen glows ice-cube cold - - lucky you.
What a beautiful little poem! Well done.
I have a daffodil that comes up every year, early; it tries to bloom, but often the bud is bent with ice from continuing snowstorms. I always go out and tie her up to a stick, so she doesn't have to bloom face down, in the mud.
I *heart* my computer.
the whole poem makes me feel warm and cozy......
And spring is so close, here. I yearn for it.
Smiling here at the "logs of ideas". The word "logs' has so many meanings in your line! That indeed is dramatic empowerment!
Lovely write!
Smiles and Light
I too find the anomity (I hope that is a word) of blogging into a computer empowering.
I am impressed again!
Wonderful images. I can feel the warmth of that idea log!
you do them really well, Linda...
Hi Linda jacobs;
Liked the hot purifying flames rising out out your mind's furnace;the alchemy between the emotions and words rendering what you call "empowered".
Really nice.
jk
liked the poem--strong close.
I totally relate. But you know that already!
A lovely poem - I like the idea of spring's blooms pushing through the snow and the ideas going through the creative process and emerging onscreen.
Nifty comparisons, similes, metaphors and empowerables! :) A great poem well-layered!
loved the part with the you feeding the logs into your fired of poetry very clever useage of words i loved the poem!!!
Linda,
I love the parallelism you created in the mind in this piece. It is refreshing to read this little poem taking the impending season as inspiration to fuel your poetry.
Very graceful and endearing thoughts.
I wish you well.
