“To frozen clods even spring’s invisible law returns with grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn” … Walt Whitman

Hello, dear readers and followers. I contribute to Coffee House Writers Magazine (USA) every second week, and I’m delighted to share that my latest poem, “Spring Will Never Vanish (a Villanelle),” appears in the new issue. You can read it by following the link below.
>> Spring Will Never Vanish – Coffee House Writers





As Whitman knew and this villanelle remembers, spring’s law always returns — and Tom Waits sings it home.

Yeah, “You can never hold back spring” one of Tom’s bestest songs, and I’m a great fan of Walt’s words, and along with my lovely spring photos, I thought a Villanelle would be wonderful to emphasis spring, Carolyn 🌞💛🥰🌏💚🌹
