Breakfast On Nectar

 
Bright red geraniums 
light up my balconies
Foxgloves exquisite in peach
Sunflowers smile at me all the while
Nasturtiums tiptoe in between
in all shades of orange and auburn and red 
Whilst sweet smelling lavender 
so beautifully blue 
Bee’s breakfast on nectar 
loving these too
Pink and red and yellow roses
their delicate perfume 
wafts in the breeze
oh how I do love these
Each morning my spirit is lifted
such joys Mother Nature has gifted
bright vivid colors
light up my day
doth truly take my breath away 

Written 24 June 2022 
wishing you could see these colors too...

Gordon Mcconnell Date: 7/20/2022 10:12:00 AM Such a lovely colourful piece Ann, shows nice rhyme and flow with good imagery too. Hope you're coping with the heat down south, it's not as warm up here as today was 25c so it's quite pleasant here. Have a blessed day,Gordon xx Login to Reply
