dVerse Poets – Poetics – One of Seventy-two Seasons
“The night air was soft and laden with the redolence of impending blossoms.” Meeta Ahluwalia
My choice of major and micro season are: Sekki – Spring; Ko – Risshun (beginning of spring). Damsel flies are an early sign of spring, there is both joy in the coming of spring and sadness that winter is going (because it is fleeting – which means, ergo, that spring is also short lived). The fireplace empty means spring is here, a different nuance.
