A Body of Work

Her smile reveals the dimples in her chin As she sees a monarch flutter by To passing clouds she waves her arms Enchanted by the summer's charms To a treetop melody she moves her feet As bird songs sweetly repeat She bends her knees to pick a flower its fragrance oh so sweet A summer breeze caresses her cheek And gently sways the palms She feels a bliss no words can speak Within her there's a calm She listens carefully, with head bowed To the whisper of a passing cloud ----

What a beautiful image of this playful child you paint in your poem, Joseph. You took me to a beautiful summer day and I smiled all the way through the poem. The last two lines bring me back to a sweet time in childhood when I would have heard "whispers" from passing clouds. Well done!
