Allow Vibrant Colour into our Lives and our Writing

Falling In Love with April.

Spring 2025

Spring is in the air

Welcome, dear readers.

“The spring greets the skin as butterfly wings greet the air, with a gentle,
uplifting confidence.” Angela Abraham

How have you been embracing April? Is April a time to review our goals and life through a different lens? Can we action tasks in readiness for a memorable transition into summer?

Spring is infused with intense fragrance, trees bursting with sprouting leaves and flowers
proudly displaying their finest blooms. A season of rejuvenation, or do
we need to reassess what we have already started and achieved?

Will we rediscover the joy of writing and uncover the perfect jewels of words to enrich our work? And with that thought, here is my poem for this Season.

Falling in Love with April

Meet me in the landscape,
where the sun shines bright,
Its rays gently kissing my face.
Stirring hibernating animals awake.
Where spring flowers bloom,
Helleborus in hues of green, white and plum.
Blackbirds serenade us throughout the day.
While queen bees hum, heading on their way.
And not a hint of April showers in sight.

While we sleep, fairies appear,
Painting sharp colours of sky and sea, crystal clear,
creating new energy.

We awake, refreshed.
Inspired to garden in morning light.
Brimming with inspiration,
Thoughts and words take flight.

Give gratitude for this time of renewal,
Regrowth and breathing cleaner air.
Give life to our reading.
For reading is at the heart of conversation
Threading and weaving our collective stories.
Sharing the literature we love.

This is also the season to add colour to our lives and our writing.

Why not explore new authors and genres?
