My Kitchen And BeyondLight playfully reflects off the pale yellow tuxedo stripes, giving the newly painted walls a decorative glow. Multi-faceted crystals gracing the window sill, catch the light, causing a spectrum of colors to dance on the walls. A healthy African violet plant basks in the sun, its one and only purple blossom leans toward the light, like a Cyclops straining its neck to watch the passersby. Outside the lace draped window, purple crocuses and yellow daffodils, newly sprouted from the earth's womb, proudly display their splendor to the world. Beyond the flowers, perspiring workmen perform their yearly ritual, mulching the trees and bushes like a parent lovingly nourishes its offspring. Clouds in lovely formations move slowly across the azure blue sky, looking like marshmallows ripe for toasting. Dead leaves on the grass are all that remains of fall and winter. Birds play merrily in the sky and children clad in shorts joyfully herald the onset of spring. *Note: This poem is in response to a challenge by a friend to write a poem using words to paint a picture, describing only what I SEE. No other senses are to be used, just sight. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
