an echo of winter
clings to the corries
while melting snows
flow into the loch
once more
all that is green
grows and glows
in the morning sun
stars of blue
dance in deep water
while sand feels
warm underfoot –
so full of promise

Lovely, and from reading this poem I learned a new word: corries. The dogs so obviously love their outdoor time!

Even with that echo of winter, your Quadrille has so much colour, Xenia! love the way you use the Scottish terms ‘corries’ and ‘loch’ in a way that even reader who is unfamiliar with them wouldn’t stumble over them. I also love the echo in the internal rhyme of ‘grows and glows’.

This is beautiful! I’m so glad that winter is now just an echo. I spent the weekend at our local beach on the Oregon Coast and it was warm and sunny. This poem reminds me of that wonderful feeling I had there that summer is coming.
