A Love Such as This

As breathless as a falling star,

of monarchs in a mason jar

 

of rainbows in their fullest hue,

of daylight in a mist of dew

 

of children’s laughter,

a newborn’s cry…

the utter joy of being alive

 

to dance in fields of morning glories

the happily-ever-after story, are we, with…

 

a love such as this.

 

 

 

Author's Note

...sorry for the long in between time between posts! I badly sprained my ankle on my daily jog, and have been feeling out of sorts. I hope you enjoy this, for I rarely do a rhyme.

dearest Kelly... this describes love so
completely... gliding over a meadow of
wild flowers... viewing love from towers of
tenderness... "as breathless as a falling star".
truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

I couldn't help but feel you would adore this one, Pat...thank you!

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes Kelly, your poem rocks so gently... Pat

[daninstockholm]

lovely!! very romantic and personal. I rarely use rhyme, but I admire those who use it well,, Nicely done!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you so much, Dan!

[daninstockholm]

hmmmm,, maybe i should write a poem of love in meter and rhyme,, but it would pale beside this beauty..

[Kelly Scheppers]

I usually write in free verse, so this was a venture for me. Send me an RR if you do, ok?

[daninstockholm]

Of course!!

How naughty of you.
A sprained ankle is the best excuse for having "MORE' time to write.

But if this is what we can expect from a sprained ankle,

In hopes of reading more incredible writing from you like this.......

next time.... (as they say in show business) Break a leg.


Hope you are feeling better,
Love your rhyming poetry.

It's given me a lot of time to reflect, that's for sure. I couldn't think of a word that rhymes with ankle! ; ) ...thanks, Trace!

[Trace]

Wrankle. .... look it up.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was hoping for a love connotation! I knew you would come through with something! ; )

[Dara]

Glad to see you are back Kelly and hope you mend quickly! Your poetry always gives me such a lift and you seem to come up with the perfect images to go with it. In a world that seems riddled with pain and confusion a love story such as yours is like a beacon in the night. Just beautiful!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...you are chicken soup for the soul, Dara...thank you!

[Coyote Poetry]

Your beautiful words gave life to the photo. Good to be able to laugh and dance in the rain. Always a pleasure to read your words dear Kelly. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome Kelly.

I enjoyed this rhyme very much! And it looks very beautiful in that large font! :))

[Kelly Scheppers]

...so glad you enjoyed it, Karen...thank you!

[emmajoy]

Your poem is absolutely beautiful: a perfectly metered love feast laid in soft, happy words. Sighhh

Sprained ankles are so very painful, throb like crazy. Sooo hope you're well on the mend, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I wasn't aware until my doctor told me that an ankle sprained from the inside of the foot takes longer to heal than a sprain from the outside! ...thank you so much, Emma!

[emmajoy]

You'll know better how to do it next time, won't you! NOT! Take care of yourself, maybe use time to write some more wonderful poetry.

sorry to hear about the ankle, Kelly - hope it mends soon... it's difficult to feel motivated when that 'outlet' is on hold :) but your poetry is certainly worth waiting for...this is such a wonderful love you have described so perfectly...it is a love we all wish for... just beautiful, as always!!!! :D

[Kelly Scheppers]

I truly miss my jogs, but I am determined to rest and recuperate and better myself. You are such a warmth of sunshine, Thomas! ...thank you!

[terry smith]

very nice! i need to write about love I am guessing.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Have you ever written about the nuances of food?

[terry smith]

no, only made up recipes... I shall try that though, thanks for the idea.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

hope your ankle is better , Kelly...

hard to read this poem without smiling---such a positive love poem...that reckless abandon feeling.

[Kelly Scheppers]

We here in California are beginning to forget what rain feels like...so, I created a little diversion...thank you, Jacob!
