Trepidation

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 :)

Very precise, crisp and clear. Refreshing springs to mind. Beautiful.

[TL Boehm]

exquisite. I have always loved the blend of nature in your work...you often remind me of Frost...

[Ghiasquared]

This one tickled my fancy without doubt. I enjoy the wonderful imagery and even more the lilting undercurrent of the subtext, though almost straight forward to those that have had the infamous "talk".

[Solst Rapture]

She of course was his prize, it pays to be a busy bee at times. Love it Emily.

I love to hike out and meet nature in this intimate way.

The smells of the laurel, the hot insects, the bee creates the second half of every world the bee enters.

I am really enjoying my trip through your poetry and stories this morning, there are small loves we fall into at times. bye raining

I just love this one. Beautiful imagery!

Ah! This reminded me of Keats, whom I have a great deal of respect for. The lyrical beauty presented in such simple form a thing so common, 'tis often overlooked. Well done.
