A Meadow of Thistles

A Meadow of Thistles

A Poem by Patricia Wedel

As I splashed in Puddles of Earth's summer Rain...
I became a Goldfinch with soft yellow feathers 
looking for seeds to nourish my fledglings... 
Row after Row of Thistles and wild whistles 
from bold and bright Coneflowers singing Hallelujah... 
Hydrangeas covered with morning Dew played 
Forever Blue as bumble bees from honey combs 
buzzed and Sweet Adeline  softly sighed...

I always feel such peace and wholesomeness wash over me whenever i read your poems! They remind me of the cottagecore aesthetic that is so popular at the moment. It's interesting how the older generations (who are now in their 40s and 50s) dreamt of bigger cars and houses and all sorts of luxuries and the younger 20-30 year olds, who had those luxuries while growing up, are slowly realising how empty that capitalist rat race is.
All i yearn for is a quiet life with a small warm home and a huge garden! Your words are beautiful 🩷🌷 especially the goldfinch feeding her fledglings. There's nothing stronger and more beautiful than maternal love. Animal and bird moms are adorable!! My sister's cat had kittens recently and it was a lovely sight 🥰😍

lovely. you captured that moment when you are out in nature and completely lose yourself to the surroundings. i seldom have the chance to go out in the countryside, but those memories came back to life reading this. everything, all worries fade out of sight and i too turn into a goldfinch. this is a magnificent ode to nature.

I look forward to reading more of you, as well, and your "more Artistic style." Be well.
This reminded me of an older Moody Blues song. It rings with cheerfulness and joy. A most lovely write with great images.
