On Fertile Ground

Lilies plush, in coral-pink, titivate tidy yards Swaying gracefully by manicured green lawns, Alluring his glance there shadows dance Where rabbits chase, and squirrels scurry by. The lady in rocking chair, as always, says: hi, Cheerfully poised, adoring red-roses rise, Nonchalant of a poodle agitating on porch Spotting a raft of ducks slowly, slowly cross. He floats among clouds, his dreams amplified, Buzzing amber desires in womb of eventide Gawking fond musings that blush crystal sky Lauding opaline aura glinting astral designs. Ruminating jubilance, elated she’s feeling now Lounging in thoughts by the pond in a park As rustling winds imitate eve’s gilded sighs Where she sits charmed, playfully beguiled, Greeting him lovingly, garbed in mauve smile, Caressing impulses that blazing passions vie When Adele’s lyrics emanate from Love Song Echoing tunes of romance from a car nearby Scintillating lambency of love in longing eyes, As fervid night muses of fairyland rendezvous Divulging clandestine clues of lush stellar hues, Riveting gaze, she proclaims: darling, it’s true, Up high on amorous sky, the moon feels it too. August 17, 2021 Placed 1st: This or That, Vol 5 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: On fertile ground
