I Share My Soul

A pair of mourning doves preen and prim snuggled close on their favorite limb. And cooing low, wake a sleeping sun, giving praise for a new day begun. A slip of a ghostly moon rides low, wearing its light like a pale halo. And Sol ascends, master of the day, lighting Dawn with His brilliant display. Vapors shed crystal tears on the grass, depositing dewdrops clear as glass. And blooming flowers imbue the air with a sweet fragrance, beyond compare. Tall, lanky palms of feathery leaf are clad in a green southern motif. And skittish crabs play tag with the waves, darting in and out of flooded caves. Sipping wine while enjoying the show, we greet the day with a gentle glow. And as romance and nature combine, I share my soul with my Valentine.

Lovely rhyming verses of four. I really like that each verse is a pair of rhyming couplets. For me, this shows that both people in a couple are their own couplet, rather than half of one. I also love the involvement of nature and the freshness from the beginning.

Emile, I too, welcome you to the world of lifetime membership. It is comforting to know that poets of your talent are making the commitment for the long run. This is a gorgeous poetic symphony of flora, fauna, and celestial glory depicted in a style you are so talented in. I particularly enjoyed the rich originality in "Vapors shed crystal tears on the grass / depositing dewdrops clear as glass." I so appreciated your warm comment today. Thank you for all you do in, and for, Poetry Soup ~ John
