Sleeping Roses

Lips kissing a Rose ... the fragrance of Wisteria

When Spring arrives in early May we will 

dance around tulips and breathe in wisteria... 

Foxtrotting around sleeping roses 

by the goldfish pond and beyond... 

through the Gate overlooking the City with Steeples and 

a River running along with rapids and ghosts hovering over... 

We will waltz into the romance of roses unfolding with 

love and laughter and the music of flowers....

i find ghosts quite intriguing...and have had a couple encounters. I like this poem for that, but also for the peacefulness and romance of it...ghosts are often depicted as evil, scary, but that is not always the case...
they are like blooming roses...in spring their visages shoot up...and haunt us beautifully.

I enjoyed this dance and love the springtime tune of your lines a celebration of beginnings:) I echo your sentiment of spirit this spring and hope to unfold many blossoms as pretty and fragrant as this one.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Bad bunny... yes, there has been quite an awakening with blossoms and leaves appearing in trees Forman all Winter

[Patricia Wedel]

With blossoms and new leaves appearing after a long Winter. Thank you for enjoying the Dance 💃 As ever, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

The musicality of spring is alive and well...and thriving here. Wishing you a most joyous one, Pat!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... when I see the trees with blossoms,
I do hear the music of a harp in melodies of love.
The earth opens to a new birth and we follow a
cobblestone primrose path where kisses fall and fill our heart with rose scented gifts of serendipity and buttercups galore. truly, Pat

'.. with Steeples and - a River running along with rapids and ghosts hovering over... '

Reality and dreams. the near spiritual and romance, all here and more. You poet you, such a beautiful sketch, such a calm, meandering view of your lovely, calm, bright yet subtle world. I love this, Pat... truly do. Buying a ticket, arrive yesterday!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em ... you have the heart of a poet to feel the beauty of Spring along the Reappahannock... the scent of wisteria and sleeping roses wil welcome your visit dearlings. truly, Pat

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

There is such a magic feeling in the air when spring arrives and you so eloquently described it.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dale... today was perfectly warm... like cattails along the river and sun shadows to lay about and shout... "I will be still and listen to the Whipporwill...
There is magic in the Air... as we rock and roll with cowboys in the Coral. truly, Pat

[Benita-Staebell M - Kin..]

Very unique and
a different approach
nicely penned

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Benita... I appreciate your kind review.
It is a challenge to create a style of poetry that
can touch the heart of a seasons myth. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I love the way you throw in everything but the kitchen sink (ghosts?) This one feels like it's been written with much uninhibited anticipation, the way you skip from this idea to another and another, almost with a breathless effect. Way to say: "so ready for spring" . . . in an original way. Love that you never use the standard imagery, always something bright & sparkling (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... that’s why we love you so...
you leave the best review with endearing thoughts like looking for Foxy tracks to understand and laugh like flowers in the Spring... dancing in the mountain side. I appreciate your theatrical comments. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

masterful my friend ..instantly fine the font and format appealing ..so clear, crisp and clean ..them is spot on form Spring and metaphors of dance and flowers with added familiar scents make this top notch says i! i am thinking of Snoopy doing his joyful dance of spring right now ... big smile ... love is in the air :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E, you are a treasure that comes in on the Tide... your review is delightful and Snoopy is The Red Baron in the sky flying around through clouds of blossoms. I miss those Charlie Brown Days and Lucy.
Hoping to catch up on your creations. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Correction : The Red Baron was the enemy of Snoopy. Aging plays tricks on my mind. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

they were all in on it together ... one big happy family ... Pig Pen was one of my favorites ;) ..but they were all simply adorable :))))))))

[An owl on the moon]

Everything about your poem seems to create the perfect day in the perfect season. How the glory of the colors rise up from the earth, the scent is magnificent, and everything comes to life in wonder. And then, then the loving and laughing and dancing. Perfection.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear 🦉 Owl... Yes, Spring is a Miracle and we want to blossom also and bring hope to everyone when golden daffadils sing sand dance in sunshine and rain. You have risen to the occasion dear friend. truly, Pat
