the ice blues of a march sky

"It was one of those March days 

when the sun shines hot 

and the wind blows cold:  when it is summer in the light, 

and winter in the shade."

~ Charles Dickens

"Perhaps you ache for freedom,

For the blue that's in your eye,

 Was given as a present

From the fabric of the sky,

And when you're gazing skywards, 

It's no wonder that you yearn, 

When part of what you're made of,

Always wishes to return."

~ Erin Hanson

"My soul is in the sky."

~ William Shakespeare

"I never get tired of a blue sky."
~ Vincent van Gogh

pretty in pink

"A profusion of pink roses bending 

in the ragged rain 

speaks to me of all 

gentleness and its enduring." 

~ William Carlos Williams ~

"Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose

From out night's gray and cloudy sheath;

Softly and still it grows and grows,

Petal by petal, leaf by leaf."

~ Jerry Smith ~

"I swear to you, 

there are divine things 

more beautiful than words

can tell."

~ Walt Whitman ~

spring

"Give me books, fruit,

French wine and fine weather

and a little music out of doors,

played by someone

I do not know."  

john keats                              

"Can words describe the fragrance

of the very breath of spring?"

"Set wide the window.

Let me drink the day."

           edith wharton

"Never yet was a springtime, 

when the buds forgot to bloom."

      margaret elizabeth sangster

"She wore the scent of early

spring on her delicate neck and

every kiss I stole tasted of bright

yellow flowers and buzzing bees."
