Trepidation

Trepidation

A Poem by Emily B
"

another old one

"

Resolute

stood the mountain laurel

on the little hill.

Steadfast

held her leaves of green

to the noble sun--

and came along the little Bee

curious and bold.

His whispered words

of Trembling pulses

Yielded forth the prize.

This IS very Emily like, it reminds me of a movie, an english man went up a hill and came down a mountain, I was so impressed by that true story made for movie, Like I am by this beautiful poem. To stand resolute in ones convictions, is a beautiful thing, so stand resolute while the bee whispers, well that's nature calling :)

subtle tension building, imagery eases into emotion and profound perception of reward meeting its release.

A vision of nature as something to look up to, we could learn a lesson from the Mountain Laurel and the Bee.

Every word of this is perfect. Always wanted the talent of flattering nature with poetry, the way you've done here. Reflecting is maybe a better word than flattering. This is a pretty piece, but not the patronising kind of 'pretty'; it's just very pleasant to read and envisage so the reader tries to savour each line. Those uppercase letters are an intriguing touch. I like that Bee is capitalised (Proper )

so many of my favorite words are in this poem: resolute, steadfast, noble, curious and bold, trembling... and you've used them like van gogh colors in this exquisite painting.

Beautiful, peaceful and true .. such beautiful creatures, bees; and how they. need protection because apart from tending all things growing, we wouldn't have poetry like this.

Thank you for sharing.
