Nature's Poetic Embrace

Do you hear the snow,

 did you feel the leaves twirling

sitting with a cuppa hot sensory perception

    stirred by the wonderment of awe

sugar coatings in smoky essence of phantasm

   spirit visions looming on the horizon

waiting to be plucked and invoked

   playful muse dances within diffusion's vapors

catching the light of morning air

    breathe in the crispness of anticipation

length & breadth of manifestations,

     natures' spun revelations 

   spoken through inky passages

   breaking of bread to be shared,

    partake each slice and evoke humanity

breaking of bread to be shared, partake each slice and evoke humanity...

Love this, Frieda. Nature begs to be shared; Mother Earth invites her children to the table every season, but the darn brats are too busy to notice the banquet she has prepared...

[Frieda P]

Haha you sounded like a teacher when you said that. ;-) Thanks....

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! I am what I am... ;)

I want what your having! I like your recipe of inspirational antidotes, the natural that you are at choice words have both superb taste and texture to flow from mindful prose with the keenness eye for word candy... ...excellent piece

you have a peaceful mind and to share it in lyour words and never fail at developing the meaning of faith in beauty and prospect of a poet's heart amazes me Frieda. "stirred by the wonderment of awe
sugar coatings in smoky essence of phantasm". i love these lines

[Michael G. Smith]

This poem is a great tribute to the greatest author and poet; Christ. There's is not one thing in nature that doesn't make me want to stop and breath in it's awe all day.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your unique interpretation M. G, glad you enjoyed....

[Trace]

I read the first line and it reminded me of a poem I wrote a long time ago called: "The sound of snowflakes" And funny thing, it snowed here last night. I didn't here much of it, that big yellow truck on the left is my office and I worked all night. Enjoyed your poem. LOTS,, Trace

[Frieda P]

Wow snow already, just getting brisk here, nice office, thanks Trace!

[Trace]

Look closely at the front tire on that massive truck. That is me standing in front of it. That truck is as big as my house.

[Frieda P]

Oh my, I didn't notice that until you said, I've never seen one that big before....holy. Does it have a hottub? ;-)

[Augustus]

Some very striking phrases here. My favourite lines:
"cuppa hot sensory perception
stirred by the wonderment of awe"
Absolutely delightful. I like the way you have made this poem more universal than personal, given that nature's bounty is for all of us. As you rightly say at the end,
"breaking of bread to be shared
partake each slice and evoke humanity".
Again, wonderful lines. I especially liked the phrase "evoke humanity". Nature can be wild. Nature can be even be cruel at times. But inevitably, in nature's lair, we all become innocent lambs. Nature indeed evokes humanity. A beautiful little verse!

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Augustus, thrilled you enjoyed this one....

[Tai Ryens]

Such a poignant tribute to our surroundings, with a sense of restlessness embodied deep between the lines. Anticipated for what, exactly? Winter? Reconnection with humanity? Destruction by the cycle, or perhaps by forces of our own hands?

[Frieda P]

Always love to read your reviews Tai, sometimes you show me stuff about my own poetry I don't even see.....

[Tai Ryens]

I'm glad I do, 'tis always a pleasure to hear that we are able to invoke learning through our words and statements.

[Ruth]

In a few words - this is simply sensational! The seasonal inhalation and exhalation...what wonders to be seen and awaited for, raise the spirits and toast together...wonderful! xx

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Poppy! xo
