Vernalis

by Ruchi Acharya, Pooja Vishwanathan (Editor), Buddy Ray Deering

Spring is a season that brings with it the energy of renewal, growth, happiness, and prosperity. To me, it has always been close to my heart. The vibrance of the blooming flowers, the soft whispers of breeze, and the warmth that gradually fills the air have always resonated deeply within me. Judging and compiling Vernalis has been my greatest pleasure and a true source of joy — my personal “happy pill.” Just like the vivid shades of lipstick that bring life and spark to a smile, the verses in this collection capture the bold, subtle, and every hue in between that spring evokes, painting a picture of beauty, warmth, and promise. Vernalis without a doubt, will be your source of comfort, a gentle reminder of nature’s cycles, and a laurel to celebrate forever. As you turn its pages, may you find yourself embraced by its warmth, renewed by its essence, and inspired by the promise of spring that it offers. As you immerse yourself in this collection, I leave you with one What does spring mean to you, and how do its whispers of renewal echo in your own life?
