Golden Moments of Summer

Goldfinches rest on Sunflower petals as Bumble Bees buzz by...

The Art of Butterflies against the morning Sky as 

the Sunrise brings shades of Lavender blue... 

The melodies of Bird songs fill the atmosphere as 

the enchanting Woodpecker adds the Base Drum of 

Eternity and the Cymbals clash with the flash of 

Humming Birds looking for Nectar from a tiny cup.  

Breezes sweep through the Sycamore trees where  

Love is breaking the blue shells where baby birds emerge... 

And all is Well where Honey Bees dwell in Hives  

among the Children running through Streams of 

bubbling Brooks and Dragonflies with green eyes...

What spectacular moments of summer you show us Pat; I love the way you show the birds, not only singing but mating as well; and the honey bees, so important for the nourishment of our blooming flowers...and let's not forget that old woodpecker, playing the base and not skipping one beat on the drum....my fav are all the sweet hummingbirds flitting around to fine their sweet nectar.... in all a beautifully written poem about mother earth.
Best, B

dearest Betty… ❤️ lovely to read your review. A family of Cardinals enjoy our a feeder where the young Cardinals learn proper manners from their Mother and Father… and the Squirrels steal oiled Sunflower Seeds. Glad you enjoyed my Vignette of Bird tales. tenderly, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

I did and we have many different kinds of birds at our feeder....bears too, so we must take in at night...
Truly, B

Wow!! do you live in North Carolina ? if memory serves me correctly? Bears would be exciting. Once, when we went Camping in a Zip Up Tent with a screened in Porch... I woke in the morning and saw by our Fire Pit (to be used for Breakfast... a Raccoon was eating a dozen eggs that we inadvertently left out ba big Rock. It was fascinating how he ate all the eggs-- one by one... with his tiny Paws holding each one. It was Hilarious!!! hugs, Pat

dear Willow… the Summer breezes have been a blessing this year 2022…we even had a Rainbow 🌈 recently that expanded across the Sky… after a sudden downpour of Rain. I had not seen a Rainbow for about 5 or 6 years in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 🇺🇸 USA on the East Coast. We are blessed. Pat

You are welcome my dear friend.

[Sami Khalil]

Your poems are golden indeed like those golden moments in nature where you capture their essence of beauty and sweetness.
Passing through to say a hello to a good friend.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Sami... I appreciate your visit... this Summer has gone by quickly... with Politics and confusion. It seems Nature can still be a source of meditation and prayer. We need a Miracle(s) to help ease the threat of Unrest. May your Path be smooth and your troubles few. Love and prayers. Thanks for your Review of "Golden Months of Summer". tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

So true and well said. You are welcome in peace and troubled times.

I have several base drums outside my house in the mornings...they chorus with the cardinals and the cicadas and the rustling of the trees.
Isn't it grand to live where nature can play for us during the summer months?
but when they go away for winter...the theater is so empty...

Good morning Jacob... last Summer we had a gorgeous Red-headed Woodpecker that took up Residence on a large shady Maple tree outside our from door. This Summer He seems to be elsewhere. Traveling Drummers are Concert Creatures. The Mourning Doves are very "Faithful" to return and raise their young fledglings on our Back Deck high in the Old Holly Trees that stay around with their Red Berries in Winter. They seem to be like Christmas Ghosts... to make a Toast. Red Cardinals and their grey brown mates (wearing pale Red Hats on their Crown... have found a Home all year around ... where I scatter an assortment of seeds with many oiled Sunflower seeds on our Deck railing outside our Kitchen Window. Our two Cats live inner Sun Room with a closed door panelled with glass. The Cats Eisa Dolittle and Snowflake have a huge Table to sleep and rest on ... with a large side window to observe the Birds on our Deck. A separate room keeps their upkeep to a minimum and we can still watch each other and visit in person. They are our "Watch Cats". gently, Pat
