Longing to hear

Longing to hear 

 

~ 
 
She strolled quietly through a field of whispering poppies 
longing to hear what they were saying 
A soft murmur rose from colorful petals swaying in the 
cool breeze flowing softly through her light blonde hair 
Mesmerized by the vibrant pastels surrounding her, 
she spun around with outstretched arms 
The midday sun glistened in her happy eyes 
as blooming faces turned to follow her every move 
She blushed when she noticed, 
they blushed at her beauty 
Smiling, she whispered to herself as she 
continued her stroll through the field 
The poppies stood quiet 
longing to hear what she was saying

Oh, to sit or lie amid the silence within a mass of poppies. The picture of poppies in my mind reminds me of November (11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month was the last one I saw, of course) here in the UK (same over there?). Nice poem, Willweb. Thanks.

And the funny thing is, poppies are prickly little flowers and possible aren't that pleasant to stroll through but it made for good poetry. Thanks so much Andrew.

I read this after the cloud poem and it seemed to me the answer to the dilemma expressed there. Nature as a panacea I think has always been a poets go to. Reminded me of some scenes from a film on Keats that I watched recently. Not familiar enough with his work to say that nature was where he found refuge for his sorrow or not. The intimate connection between your lady and her setting is lovely and obviously a heartfelt mutually beneficial one also. -carl

Thanks a lot Carl. I believe nature cures many things if we take the time to look and accept what it gives us. I appreciate your time and comments on my work.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I love the notion of nature speaking and write about it as well. Your poem made me feel good and long for a Summers day filled with sunshine and a gentle breeze.

[willweb]

Happy it had that effect on you Cherrie. I believe that nature does speak to us, we just have to chose to listen.

I like the double blushing...and the poem showing that her lack of self-interest and interest in others was returned with the force of nature.
Oh my, I like this one, will.
