A Wilder Life

A seasonal apothecary as nature provides enough flowers and herbs to detoxify the body...

Nature provides a wealth of healing for 

the mind and body ... 

From flowers and herbs there are 

calming teas... 

Amethyst brings peace to lovers 

heart and soul...

Romance and love petals 

dance in preludes of birdsong... 

Perfume is gathered from 

essential oils of magnolia, 

rosemary, lavender, 

jasmine, rose and spice... 

A wealth of intimacy and romance 

may grow in your very own garden ... 

Seasons of beauty and eternal blessings 

with the pardon of sunshine and rain...

[Timothy Ryan]

This was a very poetic piece. Lines like "Romance and love petals, dance in preludes of birdsong" really highlighted the vibe of the poem. Personally, I think it'd have more of an impact if the statement wasn't so general and was tightened up a bit. But if you just wanted to write and paint a picture, you accomplished that. Thank you for sharing.

dear Timothy, thank you for your review...
I am learning to be a poet. I appreciate your critique.
This is more of a documentary of romantic scents.
truly, Pat

You brew a seductive and alluring catch of words, Patricia. I feel you may be working some sympathetic magic, a little balm for the heart weary. Beautiful:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pryde, we live in difficult times,
and we need all the comfort and soothing
that nature can provide. The magic is in
our accepting the beauty that exists in so
many venues of all the seasons. truly, Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

You said it, Pat. You bring the beauty of word and spirit:)

[Lydia Shutter]

Such delightful imagery in this one, Pat. I could almost smell the flowers, taste the herbs, feel the romance blossoming. We can handle the rain because we know the sunshine will follow. Mother Nature gives us such beauty every day. A beautifully written poem. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi, your review is charming as
hineysuckle on the vine. It is amazing how
much nature provides to feel beautiful, calm

blessing. truly, Pat

Thank you . :)

I have been meaning to start trying to green thumb ive just never really been much good with accomplishing it .

But im not going to give up on trying .


Beautiful flow with your poem also .

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sunshine, I appreciate your review.
There are so many facets of nature that
can soothe our feelings if only we enjoy the sunsets
and birdsong, as well as herbs and flowers.
Good luck with your green thumb. Many of the
up-scale markets have wonderful mixtures of
soil to be used in larger planters. truly, Pat

[Farmgirl]

:) so true .

And thank you ... I often times find myself doing just that.
I love bird watching and smelling the new bloomed flowers
And yes I'm trying I have even began making my own soil out of compost with a mixture of things added into it for extra fertilization I've just yet to begin a garden this year trying to get my house in order it's been quite chaotic lately due to conflicts and disruptiveness

Once I get that accomplished
I can move forward with the rest of things

Thank you pat .

I enjoyed reading your poems.

[Farmgirl]

And your sound advice

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sunshine, Composting is wonderful. At one time
I lived in Washington Grove, Maryland where there were
so many Oak trees. Residents would fence off a small
plot of land and throw their veggie and fruit peelings
on the compost of fallen leaves that matured through
the seasons. It helped to enrich the garden soil and flower beds.
Of course, composted cow manure always enriches the
garden soil. The nurseries sell the manure in bags that
have been matured properly. Now that I am seventy-six,
I like to use garden planters. The birds carry seeds and
plant them in our yard, so after 25 years, we have lots of
trees that have grown up and provide a lot of shade to
help with shade in the summer. I wish we had Solar heating.
One could save a lot of money. truly, Pat

[Farmgirl]

Thanks for the advice .

And so awesome I didn't know birds do that

Mine is rabbit fertilizer
And other stuff egg shells , veggies, fruits etc

What are garden planters ?

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi sunshine, I suppose planters is not the best word...
I meant large containers to hold rich soil where you can plant
tomato's or flowers. They could be called Pots. Perhaps I am having a
"senior moment". Yes, egg shells are great for compost. truly, Pat

[Farmgirl]

Hehhehe

I understand at 3q believe it or not I'm having the beginning stages of miNE also

And thanks okay I'll try that too

[Farmgirl]

I'm 31 sorry for the typo

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Sunshine, poetry is ageless... lovely to share ideas.
truly, Pat

[Farmgirl]

I agree...

Thanks Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear poets... Amethyst is a healing stone and also
is very romantic when given as a ring or earrings,
as well as a necklace...
May the seasons of your heart be blessed with
the gifts of the earth, sky and sun...

[James]

We're getting into essential oils and natural remedies lately, but I don't know near enough about them.
A lovely poem with easy movement and it flows beautifully.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear James, We have an indoor Harvest Market, all natural items,
as well as
organic seasonal fruits and vegetables.
When we were younger, we grew our own garden,
and planted lots of flowers. Thank you for you
review and may your discoveries be an
adventure. truly, Pat
