Nette Onclaud Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Constance La France's Mingle Contest...11 may 26...' it's always a good thing when man's charming ways blend with nature's beauty...' by poet

Mingle

Spring's youthful moon explodes in gold
     mingling with tangerine tones of skyline,
 That I reflect languid reveries holding me
             captive in the glow of a byway...

     A portrait of birds, flora in endless variety
       weaves through marshy lanes,
               As couples mingle with strangers
   for light exchanges,  closing the finale
            of day's rite in enchanting sways :  

The movement of kind gestures 
            beneath glide of clouds stills my heart...
    And  I am awed by this  soft rise of a view
          which glimmers in a rhythmic wave
    of spontaneity--this gentle blend between 
             man and nature -- reminding this woman
   the reverence within the stillness on a byway.

Duke Beaufort May 15, 2026 at 2:13 PM Nette, you have a keen ability to appreciate what goes on in a simple setting. I was just listening to a podcast interview of a Hindu nun who was saying how we can live in the present...and how that makes life much more enjoyable. Sending smiles!!
