Admiring the Wildflowers

My poor wife thinks I'm crazy, Or maybe just plain lazy. But in my spare short brief time, I watch the meadow sublime. A long patch of rugged lane In summer, clouds never rain, I laud the cornflowers blue, Though some reds ones appear too. Butterflies flit here to there, While bees suck the nectar bare Above a flock of birds soar, The first worm is its prize score. How long can one pry the wild? Till my wife comes, food all piled.

I think one can watch the wild if there are such beautiful sights as you have described ! Your practical wife took you to be either crazy or lazy ! I enjoyed it Victor. She might not have shown any annoyance as she knows it is the food of your poetic creation!

One can pry the wild for a lifetime, I do Victor, though it’s not wild here in the small town where we live, though there is a green nearby that has some beautiful trees and flowers, I go there often to admire the view and listen to the birds singing too… Lovely poem! ~ Hugs, Belle

Wildflowers enhance but do not replace your special love. My dad refills his bird feeder and cares for his lawn but the house is quiet. Only us kids and an occasional relative call help relieve the loneliness. You, poet, describe nature in such a lovely way. We are listening.
