Speaking of Flowers

My flowers bloom has reached a stage
Like yellow on a parchment page
Instead of sky it faces earth
Like back into its place of birth

Fragile in the morning sun
Tender to its time undone
Less its glories opulence
Back into its innocence

Each flower blooms a proper prime
Depending on its place in time
And reasons are but filigree
This statement of pure jubilee

This awe that graces life and swoon
Within the sun and face of moon
Is essence to the dew of morn
The wonder of the new of dawn

And fantasy but feathered shaft
Flying through a miracles draft

Good morning, Mr. T. ~

Methinks ye be a beauteous rose that grows from Mother Earth. You gaze down upon the dew each morning, and when the sun rises, you raise your open and guiless face toward Father Sky where you behold Grandfather Sun during the day and Grandmother Moon during the night. Your Natural family loves you! ~ and we, your PiP family, enjoy your sweet sonneteering essence each and every day!

The Universe loves you!
Star blessings,
EA

Sy-babes....sometimes(most times)I read you and I just lack the words to tell you all that your rhymes speak to me. Like this one, there are so many lines that hold so much more than cadence and metaphor, imagery and meter.....


Less its glories opulence
Back into its innocence



*smiling at you for that brilliant couplet of humility*

This one is a must for your next book....

*ww*


I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.

JM,
Under your recommendation I will add it to the new book. You have no idea how much pleasure I get from reading your replies.
And I'm jealous of Randy haveing the privilage of being there with you.

morning Mr Sun Beam of Words....a Rebirthing
always compliments us, doesn't it...
such beauteous words...I'm going to curtsey you this morn...

Forgive me, I saw King Arthur yesterday and watched the movie Sense and Sensibility this past weekend, and I can't help but grasp a love for the fragility and femininity of women, the gallentry of men..of that era.

Thank you for such lovely words....

Flora has always given me such inspiration...I'm glad I'm not the only one!
