Notes About The Poem
This one came after seeing two different sets of pictures  taken of bird's nest with young at different stages..Both at the end the mother showed up at the nest with food and the babies were gone..It was like she had no clue that they were going to leave..Life surprises us like that sometimes..Sara

Ballroom Gown Moment

Pastel pink ballgown floats on horizon
Belle of the ball accompanied by gray gents
Dancing into early morn, roosters sing on
Still accented by soft entertainment

So swiftly has the dance floor changed to light
Like life that changes slipping up on us
A mother bird busied herself with bright
Eyes and wide mouths, then gone is little fuss

Cool is the morn, damp the air_ comfortable
Soon the golden sun will warm the air, chase
Away the chill, send me inside unable
To enjoy nature, But God's presence is in place

A few ballgown minutes, time moves onward
Thank you for this time in heart undergird

Sara Such a well descriptive and pretty write. The imagery pulls the story together with such charm and perfection. Thank you for the wonderful comment on my Rays Of Light poem.

oh yes you asked me if I did the same with my family. No I never did. My husband was not a popcorn lover. But I did it time to time with my kids like when we went to the drive in, and Joe usually stayed home.

As Robert says, this is a delightful poem, Sara. You are easily inspired by nature all around you. Thanks again for my win in your contest. It seems you asked me something and now I forgot what it was!!

beautiful piece which describes perfectly every girls dream but there seems a sombre undertone in the morning which seems to express (and im not saying i am right) but after the ball nothing seems quite as beautiful,except maybe the treasured moments ... hope i read this right,,, thanks sara ..
