hello!! i was wondering if you or any of your followers had favorite poems about spring? i am writing a letter to a friend and wanted to enclose one to her, thank u for any help!!! love ur blog and all the energy u bring to this site!!
e.e. cummings is great for spring and an absolute Spring Poet™ to me, a few i love:
"[when faces called flowers float out of the ground]"
"[who knows if the moon's]"
"[spring is like a perhaps hand]"
"[sweet spring is your time]"
and a few others:
"The Trees" by Philip Larkin (this is one of my all time favourites)
"Instructions on Not Giving Up" by Ada Limón
"Late Spring" by Mary Oliver (also a favourite!)
"Poppies" by Mary Oliver
"I Have This Way of Being" by Jamaal May
"A Light Exists in Spring" by Emily Dickinson
"Today" by Billy Collins
"O Taste and See" by Denise Levertov
also really adore these two haiku by Issa: (1) and (2)
