Poetry Friday: Three Spring Lunes

I'm not much of a poet, but I do enjoy playing with words. Lately I've been working a bit with the form of poetry known as the lune.  There are several version of lune poetry, but the one I've been using relies on a 5/3/5 syllable construction.

Without further ado, here are three lunes for a sunny March day:


Spring
A warm breeze whispers,
"Come on out.
Write me a love song."


Budding Divas
Emboldened branches
show off their
new accessories.


Fluency
To translate birdsong,
close your eyes
and give up trying.
