Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Minnesota 5 22 19

field of dandelions,
   my delirium dance
      heading down the highway.

         drive by flag and fountain,
    and trees wrap ‘round the lake
next to a kiddy park.

swamp grass,
   the color of wheat
      and auburn -
         flickers of felicity.

         and the backyard landscape
      where i keep my grandsons
   a spectacle of blooming colors -
cherry and lemon tulips, lavender and poppies.

crèpe myrtles with crooked trunks, skinny legs
   lovely with inflorescent flowers
      pastel pinks, peeking
         through the sliding glass door.

         Minnesota welcomes
      me with serenity -
    a serendipity
 of nature’s refection.
