Poet's Platform Column | 3 May 08 by Janet Nesler | The Scioto Voice | Wheelersburg, Ohio

My May Day This I remember: to hold this day, enfold it’s song, seal in it’s sky. How can I let it flow away without cupping my hands? All I can keep is what I remember. I lived, I prayed, and I shared. Mary Woodward Wooster, OH   Prom Dresses It’s prom time! Beautiful ladies Of all shapes and sizes Put on their finest gowns Some are lavender Some are lacey pink Others are elegant white Some are blends of purples and greens Some are various shades of red But all warrant a second look Cameras come out Snapshots are taken Show them around Who is the most beautiful? Willowy arms Cloaked in finery Spin in the warm Spring breeze And frolic in the sun it is prom time And nature has Donned her most elegant garb To celebrate the dance of spring Judy Cheek Wheelersburg   Spring Scenes Today is a wonderful day and I am happy Knowing that tomorrow might never arrive Seeing flowers this early Spring blooming Makes this whole wide world become alive Fragrance we can smell of a Purple Lilac So dainty are the petals of its pretty bloom Growing in those large clusters of beauty On branches where there is no more room White clouds float by this warm April day Hiding the Sun as playing a childs game Robins are picking up straw for their nest I walk near them and they seem so tame If you my friend will open wide your eyes There is so much beauty for us to behold These scenes don't cost you any money But they are worth much more than Gold Acie Workman Eden Park
