Nette Onclaud Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

                               

Earth Mother

Racing through fields with hyacinths pink
The wind mushes my hair, stroking my nape
As cicadas hum out to me of life's grandeur,
That I pause   pause as bouyant brooks roll on :
All around me the enchantment  of earth mother,
Her waft replaying tales of seasons we lead...

Together we are one, listening kindly
Amid creation's songs without question
Until night's melody gradually ends.
Here I pirouette beneath the crown of sky,
Moist grasses tickling my feet,
While fragrant air peals songs of joy and agony
Until ancient forest trees nod at me,
I nod back, a rosy twinkle on my lips

Awakening the little girl within.

Robert Lindley February 8, 2019 at 1:21 PM And earth mother wipes my furrowed brow* Her sweet breeze blows my long tender locks* My ship, Queen of the Sea with its tall mermaid prow* Cruises on in to paradise's welcoming docks.* Again your fine creation must go into my fav's here.

Heidi Sands February 7, 2019 at 8:59 AM This is so sweet. I enjoyed it and felt like I had escaped from the moment, just lost in the poem. Well done :)

Vegter Papyrus February 7, 2019 at 6:35 AM I wonder does the Earth flirt back with beautiful things like this!

Caren Krutsinger February 7, 2019 at 5:44 AM Ah, so this is what an ode is. I had truthfully wondered, and now here she is.... nicely written. "together we are one" - this is how I feel in spring, summer, and fall. Winter, not so much.
