Breathing Bees Remember last year when I said... The morning glories are at it again, love, in their bold blue they have considered the fence and conquered it in a blink, then to the rose bush, blushing and shy with thorns at point. They slide their tendrils across the porch and meander across the deck in periwinkle splendor, the bee squeezes out humming high to look and see such dotted bliss across the yards and up the telephone pole across the wires where GTE sighs. Remember, how glorious last spring, they covered our private domain and with what reverence I held them for the memory they brought of back yard and sipping sweet nectar from their lips this child so carefree in delight at spring where the weeds were tall and green and the plum tree horse bloomed out. Remember how, come fall we pulled our spent backs on the withered remains and swore them to be gone with their voracious appetite for taking over even conversation with tinted color so true and vibrant that a day could not see sky or stream to match or eyes ever strong enough with pigment, to be so sweet this color. Well love, while walking only steps from our front door I saw them moving from the neighbor’s chain-link and they were on there way to send just a bloom or two our way as a reminder that while we’re sleeping, the movement through our dreams that lights the dark sky with vivacious hue, in morning’s glory will be nestled beneath our windowsill breathing bees.

Oh, what a glorious poem! I love your flower poetry! When I saw "breathing bees", I could not imagine, and the discovery of such beauty was a real treat. I love morning glories too! But your descriptions of them as the living entities they are, are enchanting! |

you make this landscapers heart smile with this beautiful poem..you are SO good at this!!(smile) perfection again...from your poets pen. take care, jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |
