Jennifer explores tracing spring’s tender returns and grief’s quiet companion in micro poems in DifferentTruths.com
deep in the earth
clinging to the core
roots
***
bursting
overnight
new life
***
coffee brewing
birdsong through the window
spring
***
the sun
teasing me from behind the clouds
coyly hinting at coming out
***
grief
the echo
of deep love
***
impossible
that God could end the story
this way
***
planning
out my day
time in the sun
***
unfurling
in the warmth of springtime
new leaves
***
each bud
beside a leaf
spring companion
***
every single
ginkgo leaf
you are here

Jennifer Gurney, based in Colorado, teaches, paints, writes, and hikes. Her poems have appeared internationally in 11 books and won two contests. They have also been set to music, displayed on screens in Australia, printed in Washington, D.C., shared through the Rx Poetry project, and featured on a bus in Wisconsin. A lifelong writer, she says that at 62, joy and sorrow finally give her enough depth to write a decent poem now and then.
