Did you know the earth laughs in flowers It's many colours out on show With all the many flowers The earths heart does brightly glow The earth she shines so brightly When her flowers push up their tiny heads And all at once the earth laughs Within her flower beds So plant some colourful flowers To help her laugh for all time Laughter from the earth So we know she is just fine Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

~Tracie,...aaahhh,...I love this. What a happy picture you've painted in my mind. The earth laughs in flowers,...Ralph Waldo Emerson has said this too This room is good for me lately....it's so nice to be in the light. ahh yes,..I go next door to let out my dark...but this is nice. |

Tracie~ Made me think of the laughter in my own garden. The daffodils are daffy ! The rose blushes ! The heather flirts 'come hither'. All of Spring is laughing ... Thank you for this little charmer. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Charmer indeed! This is just breathtaking in beauty! I never thought of it that way....however, some of my flowers are "brown" as in dead, so what do you suggest that says? hehehehe I know, I suck at the green thumb thing. I honestly try, I do!  This poem was just peachy though!  |

Yes mother earth is beautiful in many ways. And the trees must be singing to us That ball of fire gives growth from rays While mountain rocks whisper hush Yes mother feeds with passion fruit A billion Insects know their path A single owl gives a hoot Because mothers flowers proudly laugh |

Bumble bees land on flowers, Collecting nectar to make honey, Delicacies of the world, sweet lovers, Address each other simply 'honey'. Flower beds on wide fields, shine, as does the earth, who holds the beds, embraced in her sweet bosom, close to heart, feels divine like little children clinging, glowing reds... This is beautiful work here, tracie, I wish I could write as good as you do.... Regards, sudhir. < !signature--> Life is like a painting, That in an art gallery is left hanging, Though many come just to look at it, A very few actually come to enjoy it.
