A few words…

Keith's Ramblings

for Friday Fictioneers

Silence falls as the auditorium lights dim. 

Violins screech a chilling tune as a winter-clad bard stands before the curtain and unfurls a parchment scroll.

“Let’s bid farewell 

to the season of chill”.

The fiddles fall silent.  He sheds his cloak as the curtain glows gold. He continues.

“Blossom petals fall

like pink confetti

on a yellow carpet

of nodding cowslips.

Bluebells chime

and primroses smile.d70e253174d964c6d19f13dfbb6c5e2c_bluebell-stock-vector-illustration-of-colored-love-69252270_718-900 A new sound echoes

at day’s dawn

A choir of songbirds

sing their song.

An overture to

the opera of spring.

common evening primrose flowers isolated on white

Let the first act begin!”

 

The curtains swing open and the chorus bursts into life. Spring has begun.

    Dear Keith,

    Very clever way to share a verse about spring. Imaginative and fun, as is your floral froggie. 😀

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Thanks, Rochelle. Verse is not really my thing, so I thought that by wrapping it in a story I might just get away with it!

    Lovely… the stage is set for spring (I say this as they call for another friggen 6-8 inches of snow in the next few days)

    When winter is here, can spring be far behind?
    What a way to usher in the spring & so much cheer! 🙂

    The curtains are still closed here, or at least there is still far more snow on the ground than flowers… Great way to open spring!

    Froggie needs a slightly bigger podium if he is aiming to hide behind one … 😉
    Here’s to spring.
    Ode to spring!

    Very creative turning the prompt into acts of seasons. Makes me yearn for the spring weather.

    Wonderful!
    Though at first I misread your title as “Farewell to the season of chilli” and had a mild panic attack.

    Your story left me smiling and with a warm glow. Clever idea to frame the poem as a stage production.

    Keith, you’ve gone poetic on us! A lovely ode to spring, and I can’t wait. Only a few more weeks, maybe three, here in my corner of PA 🙂

    Great opening to the play. – As the audience sit in their winter coats – out with the chill and in with spring – love it.
