Spring Kingdom
I'm heading for an unwalked place
where spring’s not spoken of,
where the border gardens
and farm orchards cease.
There I’ll get on my knees
to uncover avatar kingdoms
blooming in miniature
underneath dried prairie grass.
The wild buds of that place
stake out their own air,
their own strong light,
and their rain.
I'm headed where spring
wants new words, or better,
no words at all,
where the streams and fields
aren’t spoken for yet,
and where what belongs
still grows free.
GLOBE (Green Living On Behalf of Earth) Committee is ready to greet a Splendid Spring with you, while inviting your ekphrasis engagement! By combining painting and poetry in the collaborative art form of ekphrasis, we welcome you to idle awhile along the “Spring Shoreline” (painted on the West Twin River by Bonnita Budysz), while your “Spring Kingdom” (Jean Biegun’s poem from The Dunesletter) unfolds.
Look for our booth on April 29th in celebration of Earth Day at the YMCA, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.. We will feature a fishing pond for young enviro/activists as well as literature to spark and encourage Caring Compassion for our Glorious Planet Earth!
