Butterflies and Flowers

Embracing the Moments

endless
and breathless,
a seasonal sensation
curls me in bliss,  
as butterflies and flowers caress
- it’s the magic of majestic moments,
and i am desiring this devoted destination,
of summer sun-kissed skin, bountiful blooms softly dipped -
a playful pathway of delicate daisies swaying and serenading
- then, the melody of the wind whispers low, beauty collides
causing butterflies and flowers to take a bow and disappear,
while nature embraces autumn’s kiss and temps that rearrange
- it’s the end of summertime’s soft, soothing melody
pumpkin spice dances sweetly in the air,
expanding the imagination beyond the sky -
as leaves become a paintbrush,
curling me in bliss
- this seasonal sensation
is breathless,
endless

This poem uses vivid imagery to describe summer's end, the arrival of autumn, and sensations associated with these transitions, such as warmth, beauty, and nostalgia. A very beautiful poem you wrote, imagery so very rich and colorful to. The flow and rhythm is nicely done...The use of alliteration can be found in phrases like "playful pathway" and "bountiful blooms," enhancing the musical quality of the poem.
Nicely penned...

Summertime soft melody is so far from the autumnal reality of now, but your words remind us all of hope and the eternal dance of seasons is ever changing, while dream of warmth, sun and of making it through another winter alive....hopefully! 😃
Warm, happy thoughts...warm, happy thoughts... wa....EEK! A splodge of rain ran down my back! 😃

[Brandy]

Yes, these words are a beautiful reminder of summer's soft, yet sultry touch. A welcome of colorful leaves, along with many seasonal festivities.

Your ending thought brings a smile. : )

Brandy,
When I read fine wordsmithing such as this, I am reminded that "The image IS the message!" Like those times (rare and long ago) when I stood naked on an ocean beach and let the wind wash me clean... I knew there was no "meaning." in that, that attempting to describe it with words would be like trying to paint a rainbow... why bother... all the immeasurable wealth in that instant is INTRINSIC and the experience of the thing itself is to touch God and to, as the Navajo say, "Walk in Beauty."
Nice poem, Brandy!

[Brandy]

Dear Vol, when painting a rainbow, it's nice seeing those colors upon the page. (The image). I enjoy placing images with my words. It seems to enhance the mood. I appreciate your lovely review. I think nature is very inspiring, indeed. Many wonderful blessings to you. :)
