Silhouettes of Peace
Virginia Salter

long-stemmed silhouettes
stretch across patio
in early morning sun

peaceful beauty
adorning coming of day
my eyes lift, seek to see

what it is
that blocks sun
so graciously

tulips
soft, yellow,
brilliant amarillo

orange,
rose, salmon pink
perched atop vibrant green

glinting
sun spots toward my eyes
sparkling up these early hours

a yawn
attempts to surface
for the restful peace this beauty brings

rest
in God’s lovely creation
serenity is mine

small stuff to sweat
fades in the awesomeness
of this precious hour of springtime flower

Well done!  Don't you just love spring?

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Thank you all!  Hadn't thought, Panne, of them as being senyrus, just one poem made up of phrases.  Glad you liked, everyone!

VAS, That is my mistake - they aren't senyrus really - just the look on the page made me think of senyrus - I am afraid I didn't count syllables - for which I am sorry for being so lax, in any event - I liked the piece and am sorry for putting a label (and an incorrect label) on them. Panne

This is a beautiful poem I love the imagery and the descriptions of all of the beautiful things, it puts me in a happy mood as I'm sure it did to all the other reeaders!  Interesting, intriguing and inspiring!
