ABC Wednesday prompts with the letter J. Thank you Mrs. Nesbitt!
The calendar called spring and winter answered. It's only a matter of time...

What Janus Sees
Pocked by nimble hooves
five o’clock stubble clings,
stubborn in wind-chilled sun.
One six-pack of scrub jays
scatters the silence,
tepid spring forces its way
upon the barren brow
defined by seasoned gray.

Lovely words, beautiful sketch makes a great "j" day! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely sketch and lovelier poem. I especially like that "six-pack of scrub jays" and those other vivid images clinging to both scene and personage.
I love the visual picture of 'five o'clock stubble'.
Very clever use of the J.
What a marvelous sketch and poem. Thanks for visiting our blog and kind words.
.........beautiful.........
Love the way you bring it to life here.
Janus - the god of doors, beginnings end ends. Very fitting.
I really like this verse. The s's throughout add to the wind feel. Each image is so clear.
Lovely Sue! You are so gifted.
I wish you a great day of J

I love your visual picture and the words :)
Have a nice day! :)
This feels like where I'm living at the moment! :)
What a great anthropomorphic image of spring. Janus is a wonderful J.
Well expressed! Soon the "seasonal gray" will be greening...and I'm anxious for that to happen. ;-)
Oh, two-faced Janus! Looking back into winter and forward into summer, is that right?
That's what I wanted to say: the two-faced god Janus.Thanks for your comment on the concentration camps, which I answered on my blog.
Wow. Very amazing. I love 5 o clock shadows. Super sweet!
I love the line "The calendar called spring and winter answered"! From what I've seen on the news, your part of the country must feel as if it's January. Vivid imagery in the poem--did you write this as well?
Beautiful J's! Thank you for sharing. I also followed your Wikipedia link.
Great interpretation and symbolism!
I learned something new today!
Oh, a feast for the eyes and the mind - both in the poem and introducing me to Janus.
I love the poem's imagery--especially the "five o'clock stubble"--and I LOVE your sketch! You are quite multi-talented.
Spring is two-faced, like Janus. Last week it was almost summer, today it's almost winter. But it's still spring.
How creative and lovely....I love your J.
Great J post....love the sketch

A lovely creative J - both picture and poem :)
