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.

Of course you're a poet! I love these.
Very nice post. Since words are your thing, you might be interested in a series of posts I have been doing on the word play involved in cryptic crosswords. The first one is: http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/cryptic-crosswords-solving-hints-1.html
It has now evolved into a daily series. I find it great fun - much better than ordinary crosswords.
Carole, I'll definitely take a look - thanks!
