Analysis of Springtime On The Prairies



Nature poses for Her spring portrait,
regaled in majestic splendor.
Her vivid pigments and pastels
are bold and strikingly pleasing.

Chinooks melt virgin winter snows,
like a tepid tropical breeze.
While meandering rivers form long loops,
snaking across the open prairie.

A rising sun imbues light,
with a sense of hope and magic.
And gilding the edge of night,
it fuels dawn's resurrection.

White cottony clouds are smeared with
smudges of vermilion and pink.
And a watermelon horizon,
marks the birth place of a new day.

Reminiscent of paradise,
patches of wild flowers start to bloom.
And drowning in a sea of green,
they reach for an indigo sky.

Emile Pinet

I was born in a small town, (Bathurst) New Brunswick, Canada,. The third eldest of thirteen children, ten girls and three boys. I’m the product of a semi-dysfunctional family, brought up by a controlling, physically abusive father, verses a loving mother.
