FRIENDSHIP'S SONG
Friendship's song,
the sweetest sound,
delighting my heart
on this loveliest of days,
bringing joy and cheer
even to winter's cold
and throughout the summer,
as with vanishing showers
these warm days unfold.

SUMMER’S DELIGHT
Summer’s flower,
such brief delight,
plucked with love
on warm days content;
dear birds sweetly singing
their joyful summer song
to brighten and cheer
and bring a renewed smile
to this heart of mine.

'Celebrating May With Elizabeth Barrett Browning.'
http://www.friendburst.com/blog/89692/pic-apart-celebrates-elizabeth-barrett-browning/
The idea of "Pic-Apart" Poetry (which is open now and throughout tomorrow) is to select 25 words from the featured poetry posted (this month two pieces by Elizabeth Barrett Browning) and to create a new piece using only those 25 selected words. The words may be used more than once and the tenses changed.

WITHIN A REFLECTIVE MOMENT
A chill in the air,
I pause a moment to reflect
on the yesterdays of my life
as I see them once more
in the rivers and forests,
where again I go in my mind
to find the self that is me.
And sometimes,
lost from sight,
Nature sweeps them away
as blotting them out,
I leave some
of those days behind.
