Gathering Lavender

April birthdays are lavender love flowers...

Ladies of fashion wear lavender flowers 

sometimes dancing in fields of passion where 

butterflies land on sunbeams creating rainbows of  

lullabies and memories of time spent on islands 

of Ocean waves where mermaids  play and 

wait for sailors who appreciate the beauty of 

Lavender love on beaches of Je t'adore... 

  

Dedicated to our Romantic Poetess Lydia  who is 

Timeless with a Birthday in April 2020 ...

Oh, Pat, I am honored by your lovely words. The words swayed on the page and I swayed to their rhythm. This year's April birthdays are not quite the same as other years, are they? I know yours is coming up soon too. Thank you so very much, my friend. You are special! Lydi***

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydi... the waves of uncharted Waters
Are waiting for you where sunsets glow in horizons of lavender and red like a kiss of contentment. Happy Birthday sweet Poet
of desire. Gently, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

lavender is all that .. Norma has some planted in our garden and it is doing its job ;) like your poem .. you send me on a daydream of one delight after another .. a simpler life and time ... where children have reign ... i agree ... Lydia certainly deserves a dedicated poem such as yours my friend! well done! I should stop reading poetry now and carry "Gathering Lavender" with me the res of the day

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Gene... gathering Lavender in April is a good omen of love and adventure... the Ozarks must be a fertile place to tuck seedlings. Wishing you a wonderful day as we venture into May.... only five days away. Be safe... be well. gently, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

yes! May is upon us ... what a joy ;) peace and assurance my friend!

[Dave Brown]

Can you let me know on which Islands all those Mermaids are waiting?
Are there any travel brochures?

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Dave.. there is an Island in the Bahamas called Mango muse where Mermaids 🧜‍♀️ sit on sunny shores where
the seashells song are lullabies. Just follow your heart... no brochures are needed... just imagination. Thank you for the laughter that flows with waves 🌊 of pleasure. truly, Pat

I think it might be possible to get high just trying to envision all of the images in this brief piece. I'd love to see what a filmmaker could do with it.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest John... you are a Tonic and made me laugh ... I definitely can see Lydia being in a film noir where she would dance in Lavender fields with Abandon... the story would be very sensuous ... throwing caution to the Wind. Gently, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Dancing in my computer chair as I read both your words....and smiling! :)

[Chris Shaw]

Pat this is such a fragrant write for Lydi**, to celebrate her birthday. Lavender is so calming. Those purple headed spikes so adored by bees. How I would love to walk the seams of lavender fields on a hot day. Beautiful work.

Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Chris... thank you for describing the beauty of fields of Lavender. Lidi is calming and gentle when she writes poetry. Bees 🐝
are essential to so much of nature. truly, Pat

[poetgurl]

This is a very beautiful write for your friend.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear angel... when poets share they seem to be like a bouquet of flowers.. each one different, but all have a special fragrance.

[Robert Trakofler]

this is so special a tribute Patricia:) Lavender has a special meaning for me it was my grandmothers favorite flower! Some days when I'm sitting here typing away I can smell it out of nowhere and I feel like she is standing next to me trying to tell me something:/

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Bunny... my angel inspires me... grandmothers are special and their scent lingers... glad you touched by your grandmother’s memory from time to time.
We do share many things in our poems... the greatest of these is love and support. Gently, Pat

[lozzamus]

Some good images, does feel quite French even before use of 'je t'adore'.

Maybe consider writing a short story?

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lozzamus... Lydi will like the idea that this poem feels quite French. She knows French quite well. “Never say never” for writing a story. Wish you would write a Story for us. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Happy Birthday to Lydia and thanks to you Patricia for this beautiful and fitting poem. You might be the mermaid looking for her Captain to guide him to beautiful poetic islands. Very gracious your doings...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... your endearing love of romance has touched the lavender breath of the high seas where Mermaids tease. Lydi has shared many love lines that entangle our hearts in prayer and devotion. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

You are so right . You are welcome.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Sami. While everything is different this year, I am glad to be alive and healthy!

[Sami Khalil]

I do agree. You have a good birthday.

dear Jacob... you are the Captain of the Ship when
calm winds sail into harbors of palm trees and and the Cool of an Ocean breeze. gently, Pat
