And BELOW is my offering for the 1ST prompt of the
Phoenix Rising Poetry Guild - "The Sound of Love":
Universal Love Song
Earth offers up her serenade
in the nurturing hush of snowfall,
in the soft, soothing patter
of gentle rain on the roof
or timpani of thunder
accompanied by flashes of lightning
slashing the night sky;
a ballad of chirping birdsong,
squirrel and chipmunk chatter,
whispering zephyr,
susurrations of shivering leaves
and frozen streams, running still,
beneath a lace
of ice and snow;
the minstrel silver silence
of moonlight
as it slips between the blinds
and over the sill
to settle on my pillow,
sending me back to sleep
with a beloved’s smile.
