- Fantabulous -

Being present in the moment
                            When the wind blows from a cloud
                         the trees whisper in the gentle breeze

                                      A blush of poppies
                                as a kiss from wine-red lips
                              Multiple endless paths to walk
                                 between shadowy arches
                                         of velvet moss

                                   A gesticulating cuckoo
                               placed at the top of the trees
                         Poor bird that has no nest of its own
                                       Wish for something
                          ... maybe your wish will come true

Frederic Parker June 22, 2023 at 11:14 AM To be present in the moment with wine-red lips can cause even the poppies to blush...really nice poetry dear poet...good luck

Sotto Poet June 22, 2023 at 8:27 AM I really like the metaphors you made with your words, Anne-Lise, and I think your poem ended so well. It seems like the cuckoo bird wishes it could make its own special nests like the other birds do. Good luck with the contest

Jay Narain June 21, 2023 at 11:45 AM Fabulous lines in poem. Cuckoo does not raise its chicks; the male ones sing well. Anne-Lise Andresen June 21, 2023 at 12:05 PM - A bad mother ... lays eggs in someone else's nest - Many thanks for your comment, Jay :) - hugs

Paul Callus June 21, 2023 at 11:31 AM I love you fantabulous imagery, Anne-Lise, and I like how your poem ends.

Victor Buhagiar June 21, 2023 at 9:52 AM A cuckoo always steals the nests of others. An ingenious poem with plenty of imagery. Hugs Anne-Lise Andresen June 21, 2023 at 10:52 AM - A lazy bird, Victor :))) - Many thanks for your comment :) - hugs
