Sweet Succulence
Virginia Salter

whispers make their way
through the trees
whisking morning
past the sunrise
toward the mid of day
branches, twigs
doing jigs
delightfully in play

tick-tocking bird feeders
metronome the seconds by
calling time of interlude
to intrude the hour’s lie

yet off away
in glisten bright
a butterfly
in random flight
giggles past
the busy bee
who will not see
the charm in clover
nor think much over
the succulence of glee

Virgina, this is one of your best, I adore this upbeat portrait of nature   Van Gogh's got nothin' on you, you're a great artist of words, my friend  
Into my library this goes~
