Early Morning Mist

In the early morning mist, the cricket frogs play

On milky white lily pads, practicing their ballet

The jewel wing damselfly, in a silken web just spun

Narrowly escapes the spider, spinning in the sun

The whip-poor-will watching, in nest above the pond

Watching the red bellied turtle, eating sun flys so fond

The swallowtail butterfly, dancing in the air

Fluttering to the music, of crickets everywhere

The fragrance of honeysuckle, intoxicating so sweet

While vines of English ivy, climbing trees so discreet

The weeping willows dance, lazily in the breeze

Another day in paradise, me and the ducks and bees

I quite like the imagery in this one...so many great natural images. I love the "damselfly", "spider", and the "swallowtail butterfly", all great concepts put together nicely. Great concept and nice execution.

Lovely. As I was reading it I was in the space. And the rhyme and meter or the piece was perfect for a pastoral descriptive poem. Very peaceful and flowing, much like the trout stream I saw pictured. Thank you for sharing this.

[SyberRose]

Thank you Steve...so glad you enjoyed tonight...thank you for peeking in...Rose:)
