When morning breaks
with sunlight shining
through the tired windows;
bright and sharp
and razor-shadowed;
lucidly a blackbird sings,
for snowdrops coy,
When morning breaks
monotony of grey —
unshroud the skies
for periwinkle hop-
scotch giggledrums;
make plans for fun.
today it’s sun.
Thatched Cottages in the Sunshine Reminiscence of the North by Vincent van Gogh

Such fun and bright Bjorn! Specially love:
unshroud the skies
for periwinkle hop-
scotch giggledrums;
make plans for fun.
🙂 loved to be bright for once…
Ditto Grace’s comment and….
Love the repetition but with changing the second line —
breaking the monotony of grey…ah yes 🙂
Had fun playing with the words…
Yes, and this morning a little bird, a red headed finch, sang to me the most beautiful song in the sunshine.
That’s a very different voice for you. Nice.
That is a bright, giggly poem 🙂
What joyful words. Very lovely and spring-like. I like those giggledrums.
Such a brilliant choice of picture to illustrate your poem, Bjorn! I love the contrast of the bright, sharp sunshine and the tired windows, and blackbird singing for snowdrops. My favourite has to be the ‘periwinkle hop- / scotch giggledrums’ – a new expression for spring!
I love these parts:
“a blackbird sings,
for snowdrops coy”
“for periwinkle hop-
scotch giggledrums”
I like the idea to “unshroud the skies” for fun.
Love this! ‘giggledrums’ – great word.
Perriwinkle hopscotch giggledrums. How fun!
Fun in the sun… I like that!
tired windows and giggledrums! What fun!
Superb.
The image was well chosen to fit this well written fun poem
A cheerful romp that captures the joy of reveling in Spring!
I also incorporated “hopscotch” in my spring poem…Van Gogh’s painting is definitely sunny-side up!
I loved your poem, especially these lines — ‘giggledrums’ is fantastic!
“or periwinkle hop-
scotch giggledrums;
make plans for fun.
today it’s sun.”
Gorgeous, the sun is out and shining, waking up the birds and the flowers. Love it.
The temperature has dropped where I live, so we are having a chilly spring. I’m looking forward to sunny summers. Until then, your words are warmth enough.
