Silver On A Ring

Poulter's Measure

.

Silver On A Ring

As the dew lies upon the grass
Like silver on the ring
And the fog coats the green pines
After last night's blowing rain

A sun rises below the gray
Bright shining hides the stars
Each plant awaits sun's strong rays
Reaching from somewhere afar

The trumpet vines' orange flowers
Make nectar for birds and bees
A waxy columbine attracts
Come feed on nectar please

All trump blossoms are not so sweet
Some produce smelly stink
But his charisma draws the crowds
A slanted speech in pink

The woody honeysuckle blooms
A rich aromatic scent
Its trumpet flowers draw hummers
Nectar abundant present

Devil's trumpet dark nectar draws
An unusual crowd
Those on moral decline hey come
Lilium formosanum shroud

Foxglove a deadly trumpet plant
Small doses gives heart rebirth
The show has gone on~on
I'd say we got our dollar's worth

The political campaign has been an ongoing show
Hey we got our one dollar campaign contribution's 
worth..LOL

Your poem is a wonderful tribute to nature's beauty. The way you describe the plants and their unique characteristics is both vivid and poetic. Your use of rhyme and imagery is particularly effective, and it helps to create a sense of wonder and appreciation in the reader. I think that your poem is a testament to the power of art to help us process our emotions and connect with others.

I'm sorry. I used the wrong word in substance. I didn't mean to write where is the substance like your poem is lacking or something. It's not. I deleted that part from my review. Again, I'm sorry about that. It was a mistake. I missed typed.

You are entitled to your opinion..I was trying to explain from my point of view..You did not have to delete it..Thanks for dropping back by..Sara

[Miss Owl]

You are very kind. I deleted it because It wasn't expressing what I wanted to say or my point of view. And I understood your point of view after reading what you wrote. Very clever how you put it in there. I did miss it before. I do love your writing and will be back for more.
