This brings to mind the song "April showers... Bring the flowers that bloom in May...

Thought the challenge was to paint a picture inspired by the poem Dawn posted!

Just reread the invitation from pol, you're right Jenny. I'll place my cherita within a painting, that should keep me out of mischief for a couple of hours.

I bought some Derwent Inktense blocks this morning. What better way to try them out than a tribute to Spring. Still waiting for the rainbow though!

Yours is a spontaneous response to the verse, Skylar, people read and interpret words differently.  This is your interpretation from a section of the poem, and a lovely delicate one it is, too.

Alan, Fiona and Gala, these are lovely images. Its always interesting to see how artists portray a verse with a painting. Each one will be an individual.

This is what I like about this forum. Someone posts a poem and it inspires art - and good art too. Well done all. Here's one of my favourite poems - no reason, I just love it. The only connection to spring is his use of sprung rhythm, but contrasts in light and colour are the foundation of much art too. Pied Beauty (Gerard Manley Hopkins) Glory be to God for dappled things –     For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;        For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;  Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;     Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;        And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.  All things counter, original, spare, strange;     Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)        With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;  He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:                                  Praise him.
