Display of Nature

Would you look at this…. It’s for everyone

The sun shines upon my winter skin
It’s glow glistens in the pale blue sky
Lighting the world with its intense burn
As birds flitter about randomly

Afternoon radiates summer heat
Spring breeze tickles my exposed neck
Cooling down my sweat caressed brow
As the temperature increases

The dirt beneath my fingers is refreshing
It’s slightly damp from previous rain
Small granules slide from my busy hands
As tirelessly dig in the ground

New flower bed causally emerges
As the top layers is removed
Clumps of green grass lay helplessly aside
Thrown together in a heaping pile

A day in the sunshine is pleasure
The natural smell graces my eager nose
Swirling around me in a vivid dance
A display of nature that calms my mind

I'd been saving reviewing on this until I found out what this sun is, or as I call it "heap big yellow fireball in sky!" 😀
The heap big yellow fireball in sky came out to play today, but so did the heap big frosty north sea wind, so I still don't really know, but it certainly prettier up the sky, which I just assumed was a slate grey accompaniment to life, but it did turn the palest of blues for a while, like someone had just taken it to the dry cleaners for a change.
But as you say in your last verse it sure does make the place smell as pretty as it briefly looked....very briefly! 😀

I love being outside when it’s warm digging in the dirt and planting flowers. I love the feel of dirt between my toes and finger

[Amy R]

Oh yes, I love planting flowers and enjoying it ALL. :))

[Arundass TP]

Beautiful poem. Good images. Really enjoyed.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed the imagery in this poem. Thank you for reading

[Pete]

you've skillfully and oh so poetically planted your garden in my mind. i adore nature and everything having to do with it. glad i cut in for a quick tango.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. You never know what you will find in my writing!

[Poetic Beauty]

And I have like ten poems I haven’t posted yet lol and working on three

[Pete]

you must've inhaled too much high-test lately!

[Poetic Beauty]

No some of them are from a month or so ago lol I have like five I’ve started one almost done and ten I haven’t posted

[Pete]

mercy me. I kick out quite a few myself. sometimes i go into overdrive and the poetic wheels really spin. sounds like you can be that way too.

[Poetic Beauty]

Mine are typically long pieces. Like five I have started only have a stanza or two. It could take me a week or so get those done or more. The one I started last night is already six stanzas

[Pete]

I wouldn't want to get in an argument with you. sometimes my short ones take just as long because I labor to find what I feel are just the right words.

[Poetic Beauty]

I don’t doubt it. Finding the right words and feel can be a challenge sometimes

[Thomas W Case]

Tremendous imagery and use of the senses. You make the reader feel like they are there.

Last weekend was perfect weather for gardening and planting

[Betty Hermelee]

a stunning poem of the beauty of nature...nothing like getting your hands in the dirt, ready to plant in the springtime, throwing grass and it's hallucinating scent aside so flowers can bloom in pure unadulterated sunshine which tickles your neck and...such a lovely day in the garden that makes you want to dance....
Sounds lovely
Warmly, B

[Poetic Beauty]

"The dirt beneath my fingers is refreshing

Such a gorgeous and vibrant description :) Great work

[Poetic Beauty]

I like being outside in the flower beds or walking in nature. I especially love the feeling of dirt between my toes

[Chris Shaw]

There is nothing better than spending time with nature. I also have a garden to nurture. There is so much satisfaction in growing and planting. Bringing a garden to life after the winter with all the colour and scents. Just my cup of tea PB. That’s what I will be doing later today.

Poetry for the soul.

Last weekend on Saturday it was 76 and on Sunday it was 86 so I did two days worth of work in the flower beds. And expanded made a new flower bed.

[Chris Shaw]

Doesn’t it give you a good feeling being creative in the garden, just as you are with poetry?

[Poetic Beauty]

It is so satisfying and fulfilling

[andrew mitchell]

A lovely stroll through nature through the imagery of your mind.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I love working in the flower beds in the backyard. This year I expanded and planted some gladiolus, two black Lillie’s, those from bulb, a heather bush and some tulips from plant and we have zinnia seeds and columbine seeds planted.

[Poetic Beauty]

Also I put down 20 bags of black mulch

[andrew mitchell]

I love all the salvias and clematis plants.

[Poetic Beauty]

We have a purple clematis and two bleeding hearts

[andrew mitchell]

Lovely plants

[Neville]

[Poetic Beauty]

I love working in the flower beds in the back yard. Sun warming my skin and dirt between my toes and fingers

[Neville]

You can beat an egg, but you can't beat a bit of dirt .. and it shows .. be proud .. Neville

[Poetic Beauty]

It was
Gorgeous last weekend and the weather perfect for gardening. I love the feel of dirt and grass between my fingers and my toes

[Jibey]

The feel of the soil in the poet's hand is a sensual experience along with the feel of Nature's awakening, the warm sun pleasing in the calm of the day.

[Poetic Beauty]

I enjoy being out in the garden, digging like a mole to plant new flower lol plus I enjoy the warm sun especially after winter.
