'come 'n share (Nature's glory)
Richard,
What a winsome tale! The sweetness of nature has leant itself just right to the Shakespearean style you've crafted. From breezes playing in walnut boughs to sparrows watching squirrels meanderings. Then a delightful touch from the entrance of distant train whistle. Last line"
Upon bare knees I kneel in grateful prayer,
inviting all my friends to come 'n share. "
To kneel in prayer knowing that simple things are best!
Loved this one.
Kathy

Ah, Dear Kathy 🍂

"A Most Happy Autumn to Thee!"
You always highlight lines that are the core essence of my work … one never has to wonder if you've actually read and understood each thematic nuance shared upon its hope-filled page.
Finally, your profession of love for me humble poetic expressions wraps a gratified heart in your oh-so gentle nature.

Thank you ever-so warmly, M'Lovely Lady-Poet ⁓ Richard 🌾

Dig some more; we love it! Very timely: it's still summer, with the song of the cicadas, but fall is hinted at.

[Richard🖌]

Yes, Roland, my dear friend, Autumn is anon, as the cicadas' songs are fewer in-between, and the Olde Sonnets you enjoy, eh?
In this very moment, the inspiration for a new one is upon me … how about You?
Any subject you'd like? : )
Roland, thank you so much! 〜 Richard

Just wrote another ballade, but I fear that the meter might be off. I'll post it tomorrow and let you be the judge.

[Richard🖌]

Always make as sure as you possibly can your work is right before it's posted, Roland … LOL!

[Arline]

Such a peaceful piece and true to its title. I enjoy the blissful tone it presents and the theme of nature and how God shares it with us. Great work!!

[Richard🖌]

Hi, Arline,
You are new for me, and I wish to say, "Hello and welcome to my pages!" It is an sincere honor to have you select one of my poems to read and review.
Your words of understanding, appreciation, and praise all let me know I've done something worthwhile and correct in sharing my earnest poetical efforts.
Bless you warmly and most gratefully! 〜 Richard
(Postscript: I went to your page and saw you are a Fellow-Lady Texan, and I requested to be your friend … I hope you will accept, Arline. Thank you again!) : ]

I'm glad you did some digging. This was the perfect sonnet for today. We are having our first feel of fall today. I sat outside this morning and watched the hummingbirds and squirrels dance through my yard. Lovely image of your walnut tee. Mine are oaks and pecan, but the feeling of communing with God through nature is the same. Thanks for sharing from your archives. Jan

Jan,
As a Fellow-Lady Texan, an accomplished poet, and a seasoned reviewer, you know how I value your input, comments, and enjoyment of my little efforts.
How wonderfully enthralling you've made this Sonnet, by sharing your own beautiful scene … an inspiringly penned poem in itself.
I cannot thank you enough, Jan, for making my day heavenly, with your appreciation and encouraging praise.
I am humbled, and happy … warmest hugs and blessings! 〜 Richard

Lol..it would have been nice had I finished my last thought. I always know that I will find something I enjoy reading on your page, though, so when my brain is tired, I come here to relax knowing I can let my mind fill with your images.

You fill me〜✭
