Vignettes

Vignettes

 

Red, white and blue grand flag waves unfurled

Proud color streams in wind-tease wild-swirled

 

Tower cypress stately reach cerulean sky

 Manicured carpet rival emerald gem, try

 

Puff-white clouds adorn deep abyss heaven

Revelation-“V”, three, the other side seven

 

Mounded bed myriad-color beauty spread

Sweet song medley octave words birds said

 

“Trois les belles de la garden” enchanting sight

Perfumed fragrant roses red and yellow, white

 

Colorado spruce subtle hinted dusty-blue

Tenant home to generation flocks it knew

 

Spring spirit-peace in grand nature thing

Gentle sway delight on front porch swing

 

Cool caressing stirs yon hanging basket ferns

Humble self to artful-Gardner mankind learns

 

Taste life fresh morn’s sweet crystal dew

Early arise to greet orb orange; too few do

 

Praise celestial mid-day invigorating cool

Hear boisterous roar of kids at recess school

 

Dappled maple-shade respite high noon sun

Fresh garden salad satiated hunger finally won

 

Mid-afternoon march unhampered toward twilight

Appointed night coaxes vanquished day to flight

 

Pleasant dreams harbingers a vision day soon

Fantasy-image under pale-alabaster full moon

 

Pull covers tight to errant call of lonesome whippoorwill

Thank You! My Creator! For yet one more chance still

Amen!
