Rosebud resting on lost moments

Loving to be near the Earth where shadows dance...

In the early morning dew when daylight peeks around a rosebud 

  

and birds begin to chirp and fluff their feather pillows... 

I curl up in my window seat and watch the willows 

as they sway and yawn upon the prospect of a new day... 

My friend the Palm Warbler appears upon a branch 

wearing a Chestnut Cap on the very top of its head... 

bopping its tail up and down like a trapeze artist 

prepared to fly through the air with an attitude... 

The buzzing bees are on a mission of sweet revenge 

while the Queen Bee is fulfilling a honeycomb order... 

The squirrels are gathering acorns for winter as 

leaves are turning their colors persimmon and gold... 

We kneel to welcome the season of autumn atonement

You dear Pat are a true lover of the natural environment. You live in perfect alignment with our animal and bird friends, appreciating them for all the joy they give. You had me beside you in your window seat, admiring and taking in the wonderful view of the changing season. Your poetry is like a gentle embrace.

I just love autumn. The smells, the colors, the cool crisp air. Plus it shows there is beauty in death.

Really wonderful writing.

dear Dale... after summer's heat, it is so comforting to have hints of Autumn and the coolness of crisp air.
May your days be playful and colorful. truly, Pat

Overall, I love your lively poem, but I must mention some best-crafted lines: "sun peeks around a rosebud" . . . "birds fluff their feather pillows" . . . "fly thru the air with attitude" . . . & my fave: "Queen Bee fulfills a honeycomb order"!!! So imaginative!!! I would wager to say you might be giving me a run for my money, as far as depicting a raucous celebratory scene among the critters! *wink! wink!* Don't worry, my acorn revivalists will be back to haunt you! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dear Margie... you are the "Hope" in the corner of Pandora's box underneath all the ailments of the world on top. You are sweet and kind like a berry on the vine. truly, Pat x

Oh! I got that feeling.
Seeing many things through the nature and getting to understand the beauty of finding ourselves within its circumference.

Well penned, Patricia.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kay... nature moves all around us... as does the Sun and Moon. The sunset and sunrise moves... much like a ticking clock that needs no key to rewind. Thanks for your review. truly, Pat
