Spring has come early by Richard ColinsonApril showers have come early
With rain between the brightness
I make marginal footsteps
On a path among green growths
When confronted with new hardware
That simple old arrangement
Of those same old components
I bend them to a new purpose
In the whirring of the log files
As they sail through the terminal
Something stirs
02/16/2010 Author's Note: It felt a bit like spring today, though that could well be for reasons beside the weather.
(Can't believe I started a poem with 'April'.)
Two 'betweens' in the first stanza. The second needs to be replaced but with what I do not know.
Thanks Therese!

Posted by Therese Elaine on 02/17/10 at 03:56 AM Perhaps "twixt" instead of "between"...or even use "a path among green growths." Good to know that some of us are touched with a bit of the Spring sensations, even if weather belies the truth of such feelings! |
