In the early morning mist, the cricket frogs play On milky white lily pads, practicing their ballet The jewelwing damselfly, in a silken web just spun Narrowly escapes the spider, spinning in the sun The whip-poor-will sleeping, in nest above the pond Watching the red bellied turtle, eating sunflys so fond The swallowtail butterfly, dancing in the air Fluttering to the music, of crickets everywhere The fragrance of honeysuckle, intoxicating so sweet While vines of english ivy, climbing trees so discreet The weeping willows dance, lazily in the breeze Another day in paradise, me and the ducks and bees A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) |

I can relate to this quite well ... I have three ponds in my courtyard with most everything you spoke of (no turtle) I enjoy sitting out watching nature as she repays me in her own special ways nicely written Victoria |

Victoria, I wish I could hear your voice reading out this poem. There is so much in here that connects with me. Love Love Love it. "The weeping willows dance, lazily in the breeze. Another day in paradise" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

This was like a kodak picture being developed before my very eyes. A true feast for the senses, it displayed a lot of work and the imagery was not overdone, but amazingly real. Good job, Victoria. Kathleen |
