Meadow's Robe

When meadow flaunts her robe of green
and covers me in tender lace
her perfumed view lights up onscreen.

From mantle wrapped by pure citrine
a peaceful view my breaths embrace,
when meadow flaunts her robe of green.

Cascading dewdrops quite serene,
wheels gently to enshrine my face
her perfumed view lights up onscreen. 

A nightingale takes wing, unseen
to pipe last croons within this space,
when meadow flaunts her robe of green.

She glides around like myth's Celine
oh beauty lit by skyline’s grace,
her perfumed view, lights up onscreen!

The newborn dawn will spread its beam
lingering through mild slumber’s pace.
When meadow flaunts her robe of green,
her perfumed air drapes path’s onscreen.

Hi nette: Thank you for your comment on "Mom". It was an old poem I entered for a contest and I just noticed a typo that I corrected.

Your vibrant imagery makes the meadow come alive. I can just see her twirling around and smell her lovely perfume of grass, dew and flowers.

A great one Nette,one that can only come from a talent like the queen of poetry herself,kudos.Thanks for your concern for my next piece.I'm just thinking may be I should suspend my activity in PS awhile.I think it sounds somehow to continue writing or participating in contest,when you would not be read at all let alone win simply because you are not a native speaker.It sounds funny to read people's blogs and discover how much they hate you.There is racism even in poetry, too bad.Thanks Nette.
