1. That’s a magic Magic 9, Björn, I love the opening lines and the image of

   tresses trickling through sand and merging with the restless waves of the sea. I hope you’re feeling less tired and getting back to normal.

   • Now I am just normal tired… which is as it should on a Thursday I think.

2. There’s a magical feel to this poem, Bjorn. Nicely done. 🙂

   • Thank you.. it was fun to write.

     • You are welcome. Yup, I agree, this form is fun to write. 🙂

3. Wonderful how you described her hair communing with nature. Also this is quite powerful:

   winter’s despair
   rests humbled

   Deft use of the Magic 9.

   • Thank you… I could not pass on a form prompt… and the first line was one that just came to me a few days ago.

     • You’re very welcome.

4. “The sun is an oyster with turmeric hands” — Stellar line (pun intended).

   • That was a line that just came to me out of the blue (no pun intended)

     • You got me! 😂

5. Some lovely images in this Björn. I especially loved:

   “The sun is an oyster with turmeric hands”

   “apple-bloom laughter” (I presume you meant laughter not laugher?)

   “…bees understand
   proposals of flowers”

   🙂

   • Thank you, and yes I meant laughter… soon corrected.

6. This is a delightful read. I absolutely love the direct metaphors and imagery of “The sun is an oyster with turmeric hands” and “apple-bloom laughter fills orchard”.

   • Thank you… the first line came to me a few days ago and I just had to write it down for later reuse.

7. I love the milieu and mix of elements and species.

   • Thank you… sometimes I thin a starting line and then letting the rhymes lead you helps a lot.

8. That opening line is brilliant and I love the lightness and brightness of your Magic 9

   • Thank you… the opening line just came to me.

9. A musing nine is a bouquet from and thus for the muses of inspired springtime arousal. Amen. Hope you’ve recovered from our Yankee debacle.

   • Totally recovered… and thank you for your comment.

10. It’s a beautiful poem Bjorn

    • Thank you so much

      • You’re most welcome

11. Magnificent share

    • Thanks

12. This is a wonderful poem, Bjorn! I especially found “as apple-bloom laughter fills orchard and land” delightful. Excellent work, my friend.

    • Thank you… it feels great when here when summer-spring is here.

13. This magic 9 is pure magic .. I want to let my hair down, dance thru dandelions, drink sparkling wine, smell Spring … all of it, everything. You inspired all of this.

    • I am pleased it inspired you.

14. I love your opening line, and then the flow of imagery and rhyme in this ode to spring. Lovely and magical.

15. I really liked the Magic 9 poetry form Björn and yours is as good an example of it as one could wish for…

16. I love the mix of imagery from land, sea and air in this beguiling poem – “restless waves of the sea”; “orchard and land”; “butterflies, bees understand”. All of the elements create a joyful celebration of spring.

17. This is a beautiful poem, Bjorn, that sounds so nicely when read out loud. For me, it has something Tolkienesque in it, a way of poetic speaking I enjoy. This was my favourite part :”the spring jumps and dances barefoot for grass
    to be green, so butterflies, bees understand”

18. What a great write, Bjorn! I especially liked –

    ‘so butterflies, bees understand
    proposals of flowers’

19. I love the rhythm and rhyme of your poem, plus it tastes good on the tongue. Pretty good for a tired guy! Hope you got some good rest!

20. So welcoming to Spring!

21. What a gorgeously magical rendering of spring! Love it.

22. I love the image generated to go along with your fantastic poem. I especially love :

    “The sun is an oyster with turmeric hands,
    as the midmorning spring un-ribbon her hair”
