Jannie Breedt Poet Free verse

Garden Delight

Sanctus! 
Sanctus!
Sanctus!
Unison of voices in floral cathedral
Viola and pansies, a chorus of daisies
Amarrylis Chrisanthemum Agapanthus
Cascades of colour inviting a crescendo
Yellow petalled flowers of the sun
Bowed in prayerful contrition
To the Great and glorious One
Agape throats of ululating halleluia
Victoriously perched in garden Getsemane
Infected the song of creatures on high
Flying flowers of the sky
Glorificamus Tè
Benedictimus Tè
Adoramus Tè
Here come the butterflies
Flitting and darting and dashing and fun
Unhinged and erratic in zigzagging flight
Probing proboscis a coiled searching spring
Suffronic powder  cover their knees and their wings
Urgent the nectar! The burrowing bees
Assembly of beauty -I become undone
Annointing my spirit- unfurling my sight

Robert Warlov December 7, 2017 at 11:12 AM Sort of a proof of god by its effect. What is beauty and its power?

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 2, 2017 at 5:35 AM Oh, Jannie ... you've outdone yourself w/this most creative write. To show nature (God's creation) giving glory to God (in Latin even ... oh, my!) Your poetic genius never ceases to astound me, my dear friend. I so LOVE this poem. And of course, you hit a soft spot in this old, hardcase lion. I love any science-type things. You delivered big time w/this poem. Great poem! Love and joy forever, brother. Jannie Breedt January 7, 2018 at 6:28 AM O Freddie. You my friend and I am humbled by your praise
